How do you find the depth of a fish tank the length is 4 ft the height is 1.5 ft and the width is 1 ft?

The depth is the same as the height - only it is measured in the opposite direction!
=============================
The depth to which the tank is filled may not be the same as the measured
height of the tank. This fact is of paramount importance to the fish.
To find the depth of the water:
-- Take a ruler. This can be the same one used to measure the height
of the tank.
-- Hold the ruler vertically, with the ' 1 ' mark positioned one inch from
the bottom end.
-- Insert the ruler into the water in the tank. Insert progressively until
the bottom end of the ruler contacts the bottom of the tank. Then stop.
-- Remove the ruler, and quickly examine it under a strong light.
-- With the help of the various markings on the ruler, determine the length
of the wet portion of the ruler. Write down your observation, as the ruler
will be completely dry in a few moments and the data will be lost.
-- The number you have written down is the "depth" of the water in the tank.
It is either equal to or less than the height of the tank. If it is greater than
the height of the tank, there has been an error in the implementation of the
mensuration protocol, and the entire process must be repeated.

How do you find the depth of a rectangular box given the width and height?
You need the total volume as well, then divide that successively by width and length
How do you find out height width and length of a square?
You measure the height, width, and length.
How do you find height depth and width?
Math
How do you find length from width height and volume?
volume is the width, height, and length multiplied all together.
How do you find length when you already have width and height?
You cannot. In general, width and height place no restriction on length.
What is multiplied to find the volume of a rectangular object?
width x height x depth or length x width x height
How do you find the height using the length the width and the volume?
height*length*width = volume Divide both sides by length*width to find the height: height = volume divided by length*width

How do you find out height width and length of a square?
You measure the height, width, and length.
How do you find the height of a box given the width depth and surface area?
divide surface area by width Sorry It is a little more complicated than that. Surface area = (2 X length X width) + (2 X length X height) + (2 X width X height) Solve for height Surface area - (2 X length X width) = 2height(length + width) (Surface area - (2 X length X width))/2(length + width) = height

How do you find the height of a rectangular box given the width depth and volume?
height * width * depth = volume height = volume / (depth * width) Volume = lengthXwidthXheight V=LWH H=V/LW
How do you find width when volume height and length are given?
You really should know how to answer that question.Volume = (length) x (width) x (height) .Length = (volume) / (width x height)Width = (volume) / (length x height)Height = (volume) / (length x width)
How do you find the width of a cube when you have the length and height of it?
The width height and length would all be the same
How do you find the depth of a rectangle given the length width and volume?
depth equals volume divided by length times width
How do you find length from width height and volume?
volume is the width, height, and length multiplied all together.
How do you find length when you already have width and height?
You cannot. In general, width and height place no restriction on length.
