Question

The length, width and height of a tank are 130 cm, 122 cm and 120 cm respectively. It is filled to a height of 65 cm. a) What is the volume of water in the tank? b) What is the capacity of the tank?

Answer 1

b). capacity of tank = l×b×h
capacity of tank= 130×122×120=19,03,200 cm^3= 1903200/1000 litre= 1903.20 litre

a) now the height of water=65cm
so volume of water= 130×122×65= 1030900 cm^3= 1030900/1000 litre= 1030.90 litre

Answer 2

Find the volume of the water:

Volume of the water = Length x Breadth x Height

Volume of the water = 130 x 122 x 65

Volume of the water = 1,030,900 cm³ or 1.0309 m³

Find the capacity of the tank:

Volume of the tank = Length x Breadth x Height

Volume of the tank = 130 x 122 x 120

Volume of the tank = 1,903,200 cm³  = 1.9032 m³

Answer: (a)1,030,900 cm³  (b)1,903,200 cm³
