A septic tank in the shape of a rectangular prism must hold a volume of 234 cubic feet. If the width of the tank is 4.5 feet and the length is 8 feet, what is the height of the tank?

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the tank is $6.5\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

$V=LWH$

we have

$V=234\ ft^{3}$

$L=8\ ft$

$W=4.5\ ft$

Substitute the given values and solve for H

$234=(8)(4.5)H$

$H=234/[(8)(4.5)]=6.5\ ft$
