Q. Whitney is making a strawberry cake for her brother's birthday. The cake pan is a right rectangular prism 20cm wide by 28cm long. Whitney puts 1848cm3 of batter into the pan. How deep is the cake batter?□cm
Calculate Volume of Cake Pan: Calculate the volume of the cake pan using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: Volume=length×width×height.
Plug in Given Dimensions: Plug in the given dimensions: Volume = 28cm×20cm×height.
Set Equal to Solve for Height: We know the volume of batter Whitney put into the pan is 1848cm3. Set this equal to the volume of the pan to solve for the height (depth): 28cm×20cm×height=1848cm3.
Isolate Height: Divide both sides of the equation by the product of the length and width to isolate the height: height=(28cm×20cm)1848cm3.
Calculate Height: Calculate the height: height=560cm21848cm3.
Perform Division: Perform the division: height=3.3cm.
