An aquarium shaped like a rectangular prism has a length of 12 inches, a width of 11 inches, and a height of 20 inches. The aquarium has been filled with water as shown below.

If the volume of the water in the aquarium is 2,244 cubic inches, how high is the water level?

17 in

38 in

43 in

63

The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula: V = l * w * h, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

Given V = 2244 cubic inches, l = 12 inches, w = 11 inches, and h is the height we are looking for.

2244 = 12 * 11 * h
2244 = 132 * h
h = 2244 / 132
h = 17

Therefore, the height of the water level in the aquarium is 17 inches. The correct answer is 17 inches.
