Question

Arthuro purchased the tank for his aquarium turtle. The tank has a length of 5 feet, a width of 4 feet and a height of h feet. Arturo poured in 75 cubic feet of water in the tank to fill the tank half way. What is the value of h, the height of the tank, in feet?

Answer 1

Given data:

The length of the tank is l=5 feet.

The width of the tank is b=4 feet.

The half volume of the tank is V=75 cubic-feet.

The expression for the half volume is,

$V=\frac{1}{2}(l\times b\times h)$

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} (75\text{ cubic-ft)=}\frac{1}{2}(5\text{ ft)(4 ft)(h)} \\ h=7.5\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the height of the tank is 7.5 feet.
