Answer:

3 feet

Explanation:

the volume of the aquarium is V= Lx wx H

it is as of now given that V=11.25 cubic feet, so 11.25=LxWxH

H tallness and it is the aquarium's profundity

H=11.25/L xW= 11.25/2.5x1.5= 3 feet

Answer:

The depth is 3 ft

Explanation:

The equation for volume is V = length * height * depth

change the equation for depth

depth = volume / (length * height)

fill the equation and solve

depth = 11.35 / (2.8 * 1.5)

depth = 11.35 / 4.2

depth = 2.70238095 rounded to 3
