Question

An aquarium holds 11.95 cubic feet of water, and is 2.8 feet long and 1.4 feet wide. What is its depth? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

3.05feet

Explanation:

Given data

Volume = 11.95 cubic feet

Lenght = 2.8 feet

Width= 1.4feet

Depth= ????

We know that the expression for the volume is

V= L*W*D

substitute

11.95= 2.8*1.4*D

11.95= 3.92D

divide both sides by 3.92

D= 11.95/3.92

D= 3.05

Hence the depth is 3.05feet approx
