As the tank is cuboidal
The given dimensions are:
Length (l) = 2.5m
Breadth (b) = 1m
Height (h) = to be calculated
We know that,
1m^3 = 1000L (volume of a cuboid)
=> 10m^3 = 10000L
Volume of tank = L x b x h
=> 10 m^3 = 2.5 x 1 x h m^2
=> 10 m^3 = 2.5(h) m^2
=> h = 10 m^3
————
2.5 m^2.
=> h = 100 m
————
25
=> h = 4 m
Therefore, the tank is 4m high.
Note :
2.5 becomes 25 by sending a 10 up in the numerator as it has inly one decimal point. So 10 becomes 100.
Also m^2 and m^3 get cancelled and m is left.
Hope this helps :)
