Question

The Length breadth and height of a tank are 540cm270 cm and 420cm respectively. what should be the maximum length of measurement tap themeasuring o the dimensions of the tank property

Answer 1

Answer:

To find the length of the longest tape which can measure the three dimensions of the room, we need to find the H.C.F of length, breadth and height of the room respectively.

Length of the room = 825 cm

Breadth of the room = 675 cm

Height of the room = 450 cm

Let us factorize all three given dimensions.

825 = 3 × 5 × 5 × 11

675 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

450 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

Hence, 3, 5 and 5 are the common prime factors here.

So, H.C.F =3 × 5 × 5

H.C.F = 75 cm

Therefore, we need 75 cm the longest tape to measure the three dimensions of the room.
