Question

The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m.

Answer 1

Volume of cuboidal tank, V = 50000 lit. 

1 c.c = 1000 litres 

∴ Volume of tank = \(\frac{50000}{1000}\) = 50 c.c 

length of tank, l = 2.5 m 

height, h = 10m 

breadth,b = ? 

Volume of cuboid, V = l × b × h 

50 = 2.5 x 10 x b

50 = 25 x b

b = \(\frac{50}{2.5}\)

∴ b = 2m.
