custom fish tank shaped like a rectangular prism needs to have a length of 20 inches, a width of 18 inches and hold a volume of 8550 cubic inches. What height must the tank be made to meet these specifications?

Answer 1

To find the height of the tank, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Given that the volume is 8550 cubic inches, the length is 20 inches, and the width is 18 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:

8550 = 20 x 18 x Height
8550 = 360 x Height

Divide both sides by 360:

Height = 8550 / 360
Height = 23.75

Therefore, the tank must have a height of 23.75 inches to meet the specified dimensions and volume.
