Question

a water tank is 2.5m long, 1.5m wide and 0.6m deep. how many litres of water can it hold

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Giventhat,

Length = 1.5m

Breadth = 1.3m

Height (depth) = 0.5m

Capacity to hold the water = ?

We have asked to find the capacity of the tank to hold water. It means that, we have to find the volume of the tank.

As this tank is in a cuboidal shape.

So, the formula we use to find volume of the tank is,

Volume of cuboid = lbh

\bold{[By\:substituting\:the\:given\:values]}[Bysubstitutingthegivenvalues]

Volume of the tank = (1.5m \times 1.3m) \times 0.5m(1.5m×1.3m)×0.5m

Volume of the tank = 1.95m^2 \times 0.5m1.95m

×0.5m

Volume of the tank = 0.975m^30.975m

1 cubic metre (m^3)(m

) = 1000 litres

So, 0.975m^3 = 0.975 \times 1000\:litres0.975m

=0.975×1000litres

Therefore, 0.975m^3 = 975\:litres0.975m

=975litres
