Question

a fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism holds 30 cubic feet of water. the tank has a length of 5 feet and a width of 3 ft. what is the dept of the fish tank

Answer 1

Answer: 2 feet deep

Explanation:

All you need is to know the formula for volume of a rectangular prism. The formula is V = (b)(h).

First, you need to find the base. You do this by simply finding the area of the bottom rectangle. You do this by multiplying the length times the width. This would be 5 • 3 which equals 15. Now that you have the base value, you just need to solve for the height.

30 = (15)(h)
30 = 15h
2 = h
