Question

capacity of a tank is 240000 the length and breadth of the tank is 12 and 5m respectively find its depth

Answer 1

capacity of tank was taken out with the following formula ,

length * breadth * height ( i.e. the volume of tank)

let height be x

so, 12*5*x= = 240000

60 x = 240000

x= 240000/60

x = 4000

depth is 4000m

Answer 2

$\small{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:}}}}$

Depth of the tank = 4 m

$\small{\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Step-by-step explanation:}}}}$

Capacity of the tank = 240000 cu. m

We know that capacity of the tank is equal to the volume of the tank.

Volume of the tank, V = 240000 litres = 240000 / 1000 cu. m = 240 cu. m

Length of the tank, l = 12 m

Breadth of the tank, b = 5 m

Let the depth of the tank be ' h ' .

Since, volume of the tank is equal to the product of the length, breadth and height(depth).

Volume of the tank, V = l * b * h

240 cu. m = 12 * 5 * h

h = 240 / ( 12 * 5 )

h = 240 / 60

h = 24 / 6

h = 4 m

Hence,

Depth of the tank = 4 m
