The aquarium has a volume of 1,440 cubic inches and is 8 inches wide and 15 inches long. How tall is the aquarium?

Answer 1

Hello David,

The formula for volume is V = L * W * H where L is length, W is width and H is height

You know V = 1440, L = 15, W = 8. Let's plug them in the volume equation:

1440 = 15*8*H ----> 1440 = 120*H

Divide both sides by 120 and you get 12 = H

The aquarium is 12 inches tall.
