Question

A water tank is 3 m long, 2 m broad and 1 m deep. How many litres of water
can it hold?

Answer 1

length of water tank =3m

breadth of water tank =2m

height of water tank=1m

therefore volume of water tank =3*2*1

=6 metre cube

therefore water holding capacity of the tank in litres=0.006litres

Answer 2

Given : Length of tank = 3m

Breadth = 2m

Height (Depth) = 1m

To find : Litres of water the tank can hold

Solution :-

To find litres of water the tank can hold, we will use the formula of Volume of tank

Volume of tank (V) = length × breadth × height

☛ V = 3m × 2m × 1m

∴ $\boxed{\text{Volume\:=\:6m^3}}$

Now, we know that 1 cubic meter = 1000 litres

∴ 6m³ = 6 × 1000 = 6000 litres

∴ $\text{The\:capacity\:of\:the\:tank\:to\:hold}$

$\text{water\:is\:6000\:litres}$
