Question

A cuboidal tank is 35 m long, 20 m wide and 18 m high. it has water up to a height of 60 cm. How much more water can it hold?

Answer 1

first, find the volume ( lbh) and then multiply by 60.

Answer 2

Answer: 1,21,80,000 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: length of tank=35 m

Width of tank=20 m

Height of the tank= 18 m

The volume of the tank= $l\times b\times h=35\times20\times18=12,600\ m^3$

We know that $1m^3=1000\ l$

Thus, The capacity of the tank=$12,600\times1000\ l=1,26,00,000\ l$

If it has water up to a height of 60 cm(0.6 m).

Then the amount of water in it =$l\times b\times 0.6\times1000\ l=35\times20\times0.6\times1000=4,20,000\ l$

The amount of water the tank can hold =$1,26,00,000-4,20,000= 1,21,80,000\ l$
