Question

The length, breadth and height of a water tank
are 5 m, 2,5 m and 1.25 m respectively. Calculate
the capacity of the water tank in (a) m(b) litre.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 15.625 m³

(b)15,625 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given l=5m b=2.5m h=1.25

volume of water tank = l × b ×h

=5(2.5)(1.25)

=15.625 m³

We know that 1m³ = 1000 litres

So , 15.625 m³= 15,625 litres

Answer 2

Answer -

• Capacity of the water tank in metre = 15.625 m.

• Capacity of the water tank in litre = 15625 litres.

To calculate -

• The capacity of the water tank in metre and litre.

Step-by-step explanation -

• Here, the length, breadth and height of a water tank are given to us. We have to find the capacity of the water tank in metre and litre. So, we have to find the volume of the water tank.

________________________________

Finding the capacity of the tank in metre -

We know that -

$\bigstar \: \underline{\boxed{\sf Volume_{(cuboid)} = LBH}}$

Where -

• L = Length.
• B = Breadth.
• H = Height.

Here -

• Length = 5 m.
• Breadth = 2.5 m.
• Height = 1.25 m.

Applying the given formula -

$\dashrightarrow \mathfrak{Volume_{(cuboid)} = 5 \times 2.5 \times 1.25}$

$\dashrightarrow\mathfrak{Volume_{(cuboid)} = 15.625 \: m^3}$

Hence -

• The capacity of the water tank in metre = 15.625 m³.

________________________________

Finding the capacity of the tank in litre -

We know that -

• 1 m³ = 1000 litre.

Thus, converting cubic metres into litre -

$\leadsto$ 15.625 × 1000 = 15625 l.

Hence -

• The capacity of the water tank in litre = 15625 litres.
