$\:\:$

• Length of water tank is 30 m

• Width of water tank is 25 m

• Depth of water tank is 1.75 m

$\:\:$

As per the given details we came to know that water tank is in cuboidal shape hence its volume could be calculated by the formula to calculate the volume of cuboid

$\:\:$

Thus ,

$\:\:$

$\underline{ \underline{\bold{\texttt{Volume of cuboid :}}}}$

$\:\:$

➠ l × w × h ⚊⚊⚊⚊ ⓵

$\:\:$

Where ,

$\:\:$

• l = Length

• w = Width

• h = Height / depth

$\:\:$

$\underline{ \underline{\bold{\texttt{Volume of water tank :}}}}$

$\:\:$

• l = 30 m

• w = 25 m

• h = 1.75 m

$\:\:$

⟮ Putting the above values in ⓵ ⟯

$\:\:$

: ➜ l × w × h

$\:\:$

: ➜ 30 × 25 × 1.75

$\:\:$

: : ➨ 1312.5 cu. m.

$\:\:$

• Hence the volume of water tank is 1312.5 cu. m.

$\:\:$

$\underline{ \underline{\bold{\texttt{Cubic metre to litre :}}}}$

$\:\:$

$\boxed { \boldsymbol { 1 \: cubic \: metre = 1000 \: litres } }$

$\:\:$

• $\bold { 1312.5 \: cu. \: m. = 1312500 \: litres }$

$\:\:$

∴ The water tank can hold 1312.5 cu. m. or 1312500 litres of water
