Question

A cuboidal water tank is 10 m wide, 12 m long and 15 m deep. How many liters of water can it hold at the most?
pls give answer with proper method

Answer 1

Volume of cuboid=

= 10x12x15

= 1800m³

Since 1m³= 1ml³ so

1800m³= 1800ml³

The cuboid will hold 1800ml³ of water

In liters the tank will hold 1.8litres of water (1800/1000=1.8 liters)

Answer 2

The tank can hold 1800000 litres of water.

Given : A cuboidal water tank is 10 m wide, 12 m long and 15 m deep.

To find : The maximum water holding capacity of the tank.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the water holding capacity of the tank)

Here,

Maximum water holding capacity of the tank = Volume of the tank

And,

Volume of the cuboidal water tank :

= Length × Width × Depth

= (10 × 12 × 15) m³

= 1800 m³

So, maximum water holding capacity of the tank :

= 1800 m³

= (1800 × 1000) litres [As, 1m³ = 1000 litres]

= 1800000 litres

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the tank can hold 1800000 litres of water.
