The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its dimensions \[V=\ell\times w\times h\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so how do I figure out how deep it is?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

The depth of the water is the same dimension as the height, so \[V_\text{water}=\ell\times w\times d\] solve for d
