Question

A rectangular container is 100 cm long and 5 cm wide. It contains 9 litres of water when it is 60% full. Find the height of the container. Round your answer to 2 decimal places if necessary

Answer 1

Answer:

height is 30cms

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of x(full volume of container) = 9Litres

So, x=9*100/60

Hence, full volume of container=15Litres

Since it is a rectangular container

So, volume in mtr^cube=l*b*h

Since, 1m^cube=1000Litres...

And, Volume in litre^cube=l*b*h*1000

i.e,1mtr*0.05mtr*h*1000=15

So, h=15/50=0.3metre

i.e, h=30cms
