Question

The dimension of a rectangular water tanks are 2 m 75 cm by 1 m 80 cm by 1m 40 cm. How many litres of water does it hold when filled to the brim?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :

Length of the rectangular water tank = 2 m 75 cm = 275 cm

Breadth of the rectangular water tank = 1 m 80 cm = 180 cm

Height of the rectangular water tank = 1 m 40 cm = 140 cm

Volume of the water tank = L × B × H 

= 275 × 180 × 140 

Volume of the water tank = 6930000 cu cm

Now, we know that 1 liter = 1000 cu cm

So, capacity of the water tank = 6930000/1000

6930 liters

So, the water tank can hold 6930 liters of water when it is filled to the brim.
