Step 1
Volume=length × width × height
To calculate height (depth), divide the given volume by the product of the length and width.
height=9.4ft312ft×3ft
height=9.4ft336ft2=0.2611 ft
Convert feet to inches.
0.2611ft×12 in1 ft=3.1332 inches

Step 1
A rectangular prism is a 3D shape with 6 faces, where each face is a rectangle. A rectangle has 4 sides where all 4 corners are right angles (a square is a rectangle with all sides the same length).
The volume of a rectangular prism is length times width times height
V=L×W×H
So the volume of water in the trough is
Vtrough=12×3×H cubic feet
If Vtrough=9.4 cubic feet then
9.4=12×3×H
9.412×3=H
H=9.436
=0.26 ft
