An aquarium has a volume of 432 in.3 and a base of 96 in.2 . How would you write an equation to model finding the height of the aquarium
To find the height of the aquarium, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = base * height
Since the volume of the aquarium is 432 in.3 and the base is 96 in.2, we can write the equation as:
432 = 96 * height
Solving for the height, we divide both sides by 96:
height = 432 / 96 = 4.5 in.
Therefore, the height of the aquarium is 4.5 inches.
