Question

The length breadth and height of a cuboidal tank are 16m, 13. 5m and 5m respectively . find the amount of water in liters it can hold?

Answer 1

volume of tank = volume of cuboid = length x breadth x height
= 16 x 13.5 x 5 m^3
=1080 m^3

we know
1000 litres = 1m^3

so,
volume of tank = 1080 x 10^3 litres
=1080000 litres

Answer 2

length , l = 16 m
breadth , b = 13.5 m
height , h = 5 m
The amount of water it can hold = Volume of the cuboid = lbh
= 16 × 13.5 × 5
= 1080 m³
[ 1 m ³ = 1000litres]
1080 m ³ = 1080 × 1000 = 1080000 litres
The amount of water it can hold = 1080000 litres
