Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total surface are of tank = 2(lb + bh + hl )
= 2( 12*9+ 9*4 + 4*12)
= 2( 108+36+48) = 192*2
= 384 m^2
Length of sheet required = area/breadth
= 384/2= 192 m
Now cost of sheet = 192*5 = 960 rs

Cost of iron sheet required to make the tank is 2280 rupees.
- A water tank measurements are given as 5m long , 4m wide and 2m deep.
- That is the length of the tank is 5m , breadth is 4m and height is 2m.
- We have to determine the cost of making the tank with the given measurements.
- We have to find the total surface area of the tank in order to cover the full surface of the tank.
- Total surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Total surface area of the tank = 2((5)(4) + (4)(2) + (2)(5)) = 2(20 + 8 + 10) = 76 sq m.
- The rate of sheet is 60 rupees per metre.
- Given that the breadth of the sheet is 2m.
- We now calculate the length of the sheet required to make the tank.
Area of the sheet required = total surface area of the tank
2 × length = 76
length = 38 m
- The length of the sheet required is 38 m.
- Now the cost of the sheet will be 38 × rate per metre
Total cost = 38 × 60
Total cost = 2280 rupees
