Question

if the length of the aquarium is 36\, the width is 15\, and the volume is 9,720 in³, using the formula for volume, v = lwh find the height.
a 9\
b 6\
c 21\
d 18\

Explanation:

Step1: Rearrange volume formula for height

Given $V = lwh$, we can solve for $h$ as $h=\frac{V}{lw}$.

Step2: Substitute given values

We have $l = 36$, $w = 15$, and $V=9720$. Substituting into the formula $h=\frac{9720}{36\times15}$.
First, calculate $36\times15 = 540$. Then, $h=\frac{9720}{540}=18$.
