Algebra.Com's Answer #702595 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rectangular tank, with a base 12\" * 14\", has a capacity of 189 gallons. Determine tank height. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "If you want the height in inches, convert capacity to cubic inches. \n" ); document.write( "189 gal * 1 gal/7.48 cf --> 189/7.48 cubic ft. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "1 cf = 12*12*12 = 1728 cubic inches. \n" ); document.write( "Capacity = (189/7.48)*1728 cu inches. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Ht = Cap/Base area = Cap/(12*14) \n" ); document.write( "Ht = (189/7.48)*1728/168 \n" ); document.write( "Ht =~ 259.89 inches \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
