Question

The capacity of a water tank of dimensions 10m x 5m x 1.5m is ___​

Answer 1

Answer:

The capacity of the water tank is  75000litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length = 10m

Breadth = 5m

Height = 1.5m

To find,

The capacity of the tank

Recall the formula

The volume of the cuboid = length × breadth ×height

1m³ = 1000litres

Solution:

Since the water tank is in the shape of a cuboid, the capacity of the tank = volume of the cuboid

Hence the capacity of the tank = length × breadth ×height

=10 × 5 × 1.5 =   75m³

Since 1m³ = 1000litres, then 75m³ = 75 × 1000 = 75000litres.

Hence, the capacity of the water tank = 75000litres

Answer 2

Step 1: Given data

Length $= 10m$

Breadth $= 5m$

Height $= 1.5m$

The capacity of the tank$=?$

Step 2: Using the formula

Volume of the cuboid$= length\times breadth\times height$ 

$1m^{3} = 1000l$

Step 3: Calculating the capacity of tank

Because the water tank is shaped like a cuboid, the tank's capacity equals the volume of the cuboid. Thus,

capacity of the tank $= l\times b\times h=10 \times 5\times 1.5 = 75 m^{3}$

Now, since

$1m^{3} = 1000l$

$\therefore 75m^{3} = 75\times 1000 = 75000l$

Hence, the capacity of the water tank is $75000l$.
