Question

The area of the base of a rectangular tank is 6500 cm2 and the volume of water contained in it is 2.6 cubic metres. The depth of the water tank is

Answer 1

6500 cm2= 0.65 metre square
Then 2.6=lbh=0.65×h
so, h=2.6÷0.65=4 metre

Answer 2

The depth of the water tank is 4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of base of rectangular tank = 6500 sq.cm.

1 sq.cm. = 0.0001

6500 sq.cm. = 0.0001 \times 6500=0.65 sq.m.

Area of rectangle = $Length \times Breadth$

So,$Length \times Breadth =0.65$----1

Volume of rectangular tank = $Length \times Breadth \times Height$

We are given that the volume of water contained in it is 2.6 cubic metres

So, $Length \times Breadth \times Height= 2.6$

Using 1

$0.65 \times Height= 2.6$

$Height= \frac{2.6}{0.65}$

$Height= 4$

Hence The depth of the water tank is 4 m
