Question

A container is 10m long,8 mwide and 5m high.it is filled with sand to a height of 3 m.find the volume of sand

Answer 1

Volume of sand = l x b x h = 10 m x 8 m x 3 m = 240 m³

Answer 2

Given that the height of the sand is 3 m.

Since the volume of the sand shares the same length and width of the container. We can simply ignore the height of the container and use the height of the sand to find the volume of the sand.

Recall the formula:

$\text{ Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Height}$

Find the volume of the sand:

$\text{ Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Height}$

$\text {Volume }= 240 \text{ m}^3$

Answer: The volume of the sand is 240 m³
