Question

An aquarium holds 11.13 cubic feet of water, and is 2.6 feet long and 1.9 feet wide. What is its depth? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

2.25 feet deep

Explanation:

The volume was given as (11.13 cubic feet)

Length as (2.6 feet)

Width as(1.9 feet)

Volume of triangular prism can be written as ( length × width × height)

Volume= ( length × width × height)

Then substitute the values, we have

11.13 = 2.6 × 1.9 × height

Height= 11.13/(2.6×1.9)

= 11.13/4.94

= 2.25 feet
