The volume does not provide enough information to determine the depth, length and width. The water could be in a spherical container, or a blob of irregular shape. Even if it were a cuboid, the volume could be in the form of a shallow pool over a broad area or a tall column.
If you only know the volume, you have no way of calculating the dimensions. There are an
infinite number of different shapes and sizes, with different dimensions, that all have the
same volume. Even if you restrict the choice to a rectangular "box", there are still an infinite
number of those, with different sets of dimensions, that all have the same volume.
Here are a few examples:
1 litre = 1,000 cc
1 "mega-litre" = 109 cc
A rectangular box with a volume of 109 cc could have
any of the following dimensions (all in cm):
1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000
2,000 x 500 x 1,000
4,000 x 250 x 1,000
5,000 x 200 x 1,000
5,000 x 1,000 x 200
1,000 x 200 x 5,000
10,000 x 100 x 1,000
50,000 x 20 x 1,000
100,000 x 10 x 1,000
etc.
Information about the volume does not provide enough information to determine the dimensions. First, it does not determine the basic shape: a sphere, a cuboid, a cylinder or a randomly shaped blob. Second, even if it were a cuboid, it could be a shallow cuboid spread over a large area or a very tall cuboid covering a very narrow area.

Is the length or the width the depth of a cabinet?
The depth is neither the length nor width. Length is the measurement from top to bottom, width is from side to side, and depth is from front to back.
What has no length width or depth?
A point.
How do you find the area of something using width length depth?
Area is a plane or surface measurement. Depth is not required. Multiply the length by the width.
What is it called that is described as a flat surface with an infinite length and width but no depth?
A flat surface with an infinite length and width but no depth is called a plane.
What are the properties of 3D shapes?
They have length, width and depth
Is the length or the width the depth of a cabinet?
The depth is neither the length nor width. Length is the measurement from top to bottom, width is from side to side, and depth is from front to back.
How do you find the depth of a rectangle given the length width and volume?
depth equals volume divided by length times width
What has no length width or depth?
A point.
What has length width but no depth shape?
They are 2 dimensional shapes that only have length and width.
How do you find the area of something using width length depth?
Area is a plane or surface measurement. Depth is not required. Multiply the length by the width.
Does the formula for volume is length x width?
Volume = Length x Width x Depth
What are the 3 dimensions?
Length, width and depth.
What is it called that is described as a flat surface with an infinite length and width but no depth?
A flat surface with an infinite length and width but no depth is called a plane.
A is locaction that has no length width or depth triangle?
No, not a triangle.
What are the properties of 3D shapes?
They have length, width and depth
A point has no or It only has location?
width, length, depth
What figure has a length and width and no depth?
A plane figure.
