Question 425325: The volume of a rectangular pool is 1080 cubic centimeters. Its length, width, and depth are in the ratio 10:4:1. Find the number of meters in each of the three dimensions.
***I know that the volume formula for a rectangle is V=lwh, but Im not sure where to put the depth part of the problem into the given equation. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of a rectangular pool is 1080 cubic centimeters. Its length, width, and depth are in the ratio 10:4:1. Find the number of meters in each of the three dimensions.
length = 10x
width = 4x
depth = x
---
Equation:
vol = lwh
---
1080 = x*4x*10x = 40x^3
---
x^3 = 27
x = 3
---
length = 30
width = 12
depth = 3
