Question

A tank is a cuboid measuring 50 cm by 35 cm by 20 cm

All lengths are to the nearest centimetre.

A container has a capacity of exactly 35 litres.

1 litre = 1000 cm³

By working out the lower and upper bounds for the capacity of the tank, state clearly which one of the following statements you agree with:

X The tank has the greater capacity

Y The container has the greater capacity

Z It isn't possible to tell which has the greater capacity

Your last line should say,
I agree with ...
where... is X, Y or Z

​

Answer 1

Answer:

option x. the tank has greater capacity

because volume of the tank is 50 . 35 .20. 35000 cm3

so 35 litres inthe tank can accommodate

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

the dimension of tank = 50cm × 35cm × 20cm

capacity of container = 35 litres

to find = capacity of tank

then compare capacity of both of them

Explanation:

Volume of tank = length× breadth × height

length = 50 cm

breadth= 35 cm

height = 20 cm

volume = 50×35×20

volume of tank = 35000 cubic cm

capacity of tank = 35 litres

both the tank and the container habe equal capacity.
