Question

A pond is in the shape of a rectangular prism and holds 1,305 gallons of water. each cubic foot of water contains about 7.5 gallons. The pond's length is 14.5, its width is 12 feet. What is its height?

Answer 1

The formula for volume is
volume= length * width *height
if there are 1,305 gallons and 7.5 gallons per cubic foot
than 1,305/7.5= 174 cubic feet
174 cubic feet= 14.5*12*h
174= 174h
divide both sides by 174
1=h
the pond is 1 foot in height
