Answer 2

`Depth = 14`

Explanation:

Given

`Length = 18.5cm`

`Width = 15cm`

`Volume = 3885cm^3`

Required

Determine the deep of the aquarium

Volume is calculated as thus:

`Volume = Length * Width * Depth`

Substitute values for Volume, Length and Width

`3885 = 18.5 * 15 * Depth`

`3885 = 277.5 * Depth`

Solve for Depth

`Depth = 3885/277.5`

`Depth = 14`

Hence;

the depth is 14cm
