Respuesta :
Multiply the sides that you have, then divide that from 33885, and you'll get 14, 14 is the answer.
Answer:
14 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Martene got an aquarium in the shape of rectangular prism with sides 18.5 cm long and 15 cm wide. Martene put [tex]3885\text{ cm}^3[/tex] of water in the aquarium. We are asked to find the depth of the water.
We will use volume of rectangular prism formula to solve our given problem.
[tex]\text{Volume of rectangular prism}=l\cdot w\cdot h[/tex], where,
l = Length of base,
w = Width of base,
h = Height of prism.
Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:
[tex]3885\text{ cm}^3=18.5\text{ cm}\cdot 15\text{ cm}\cdot h[/tex]
[tex]3885\text{ cm}^3=277.5\text{ cm}^2\cdot h[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3885\text{ cm}^3}{277.5\text{ cm}^2}=\frac{277.5\text{ cm}^2\cdot h}{277.5\text{ cm}^2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3885\text{ cm}}{277.5}=h[/tex]
[tex]14\text{ cm}=h[/tex]
Therefore, the depth of the water in the aquarium is 14 cm.
