Volume of tank=length*breadth*height=2*1*50=100 cu.m.

1 cubic metre=1000 litres

Therefore 100 cubic metre=100*1000=100,000 litres

The Tank can hold approximately 100,000 litres of water.

[the term ‘approximately’ is used because the correct volume of the tank can be found after subtracting its thickness]

Answer 2

Answer:

1000 litres

Explanation:

Length = 2m

width = 1m

depth = 50cm or 0.5m

First we need to find volume - Length × width × depth

= 2 × 1 × 0.5

= 1m³

We know that 1m³ = 1000 litres

Hence, it can hold 1000 litres of water.

Hope it helps...!!!
