Question

The interior dimensions of a rectangular fish tank are 4 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet high. the water level in the tank is 1 foot high. all of the water in this tank is poured into an empty second tank. if the interior dimensions of the second tank are 3 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 4 feet high, what is the height of the water in the second tank?

Answer 1

V = L · w · h

Volume of water is 4 · 3 · 1 = 12

Height of water in second tank:   V = L · w · h  →  12 = 3 · 2 · h   → 12 = 6h   → 2 = h

Answer: 2 ft
