1/2 (a+b)h
1/2 (a+16)14=132
8×14=112
14÷2=7
132-112=20
20÷7 =2.857142857
so then a= 2.86 (3sf)
For more questions like that turn it into equation the make a subject of formula

The tank fills to 16 gallons of water as a maximum. After that it would start overflowing.
Answer:
120 blocks total
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the little cubes have side length 2" Thus, the 11" height of the box cannot be used entirely: we waste the top 1" because the five layers of little cubes reach only to 10" from the bottom.
Start at the bottom of the box. The dimensions of the bottom are 12" by 8". Along the longer side we can lay 6 blocks (which add up to 12" and are 2" wide. We can add 3 more such rows to fill the available 8" width of the box bottom. That's 6*4, or 24 blocks.
We can add 4 more 6 block by 4 block layers before we have the maximum 5 layers stacked in the box.
5 layers times 24 blocks per layer comes to 120 blocks total.
