Question

Martens got a small aquarium forgot her birthday. The aquarium is a right rectangular prism 18.5cm long by 15cm wide. Martens put 3885cm cubes of water in the aquarium. How deep is the water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Depth of Martens aquarium water = 14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An aquarium,which is a right rectangular prism.

Length of the aquarium, $l$ = 18.5 cm

Width of the aquarium, $b$ = 15 cm

Volume of the aquarium, $V$ = 3885 cm cubes

We have to find the depth of the aquarium.

Let the depth be $h$ cm.

Note:

Volume of the rectangular prism,V=lbh.

⇒ $V$ = $l\times b\times h$

⇒ $h=\frac{V}{l\times b}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $h=\frac{3885\ cm^3}{18.5\ cm\times 15\ cm}$

⇒ $h=14$ cm

So,

The depth of the aquarium water is 14 cm.
