Question

The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 25,000 litres. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 20 m.​

Answer 1

Answer :

• The breadth of the tank is 2m

Given :

• The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 25,000 litres
• Length and depth are 2.5m and 20m

To find :

• Breadth of the tank

Solution :

Given

• length of the tank = 2.5m
• Height of the tank = 20m

• Let the breadth of the tank be b

Given,

• The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 25,000 litres so,

• Volume of cuboid = 25,000

As we know that,

• Volume of cuboid = l × b × h

Where,

• L is length of the tank
• b is breadth of the tank
• h is height of the tank

→ Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

→ 25000 m³ = 2.5 × b × 20

→ 25000 × 1/1000 m³ = 2.5 × b × 20

→ 25 m³ = 2.5 × b × 20

→ 25 = 50b

→ 50b = 25

→ b = 50/25

→ b = 2m

Hence , The breadth of the tank is 2m

More Explanation :

• 1m³ = 1000 litres
• 1/1000 m³ = 1 litre
• 1 litre = 1/1000 m³
