Question

An aquarium holds 3D 3.75 gallons of water it has a length of 2 feet and a height of 1.5 ft what is the volume of the aquarium what is the width of the aquarium explain

Answer 1

The width of the aquarium is 0.1625 ft.

Explanation:

Given,

The length (l) of the aquarium = 2 ft

Height (h) = 1.5 ft

The capacity of water it holds = 3.75 gallons

That means the volume (V) = 3.75 gallon

To find the width(b) of the aquarium.

Formula

• The volume of a cuboid with l as length, b as width and h as height = lbh

• 1 gallon = 0.13 cube ft

So,

V = 3.75×0.13 cube ft

According to the problem,

2×1.5×b = 3.75×0.13

or, b = (3.75×0.13)÷(2×1.5)

or, b = 0.1625 ft

Hence,

The width of the aquarium is 0.1625 ft.
