Hmm...volume of cylindrical tub would be... $$\large V= \pi r^2 h$$ and i believe you're solving for h.

You're going to create a ratio for the Volume of the rectangular prism to the volumeof the cylindrical tub to find h.

no, $$\Pi \times r ^{2} \times h$$
here r= 3/2=1.5
everythin else is correct
