Question

Water flows from a tank with a rectangular base measuring 80cm by 70cm into another tank with a square basebof side 60cm.If the water in the first tank is 4cm deep,how deep will it be in the second tank?

Answer 1

Volume is constant. Hence volume in first tank is 80*70*4. Volume in second tank is 60*60*x
X is the depth in second tank.
X=6.22

Answer 2

Answer:

0.43410 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangular tank = 80 cm

Breadth of rectangular tank = 70 cm

Height of water in the tank = 4 cm

So, volume of water in rectangular tank =$Length \times Breadth \times Height$

                                                                 =$80 \times 70 \times 4$

                                                                 =$22400 cm^3$

Now the water is poured into the square tank so, the volume of water will remain same

Side of square tank = 60 cm

So, Volume of square tank = $Length \times Breadth \times Height$

                                             =$860 \times 60 \times h$

So, $860 \times 60 \times h=22400$

$h=\frac{22400}{860 \times 60}$

$h=0.43410$

Thus the height of water is square tank is 0.43410 cm.
