Question

An aquarium holds 11.04 cubic feet of water, and is 2.3 feet long and 1.2 feet wide. What is its depth? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. The depth is feet.

Answer 1

Depth is 4 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of an aquarium is 2.3 feet

Width of an aquarium is 1.2 feet

Volume of an an aquarium is 11.04 cubic feet

To find: depth of an aquarium is 2.3 feet

Solution:

If
`l,b,h` denote length, width and height of a cuboid then volume (V) of a cuboid is equal to
`lbh`

`l=2.3` feet

`b=1.2` feet

`V=11.04` cubic feet

`11.04=2.3(1.2)h\\h=(11.04)/(2.3(1.2))\\h=(11.04)/(2.76)`

`h=4` feet

Therefore,

depth is 4 feet.
