Question

The length of a water tank is 2.5 m and breadth is 2 m. It holds 1500 l of water. Find the depth of the tank.

Answer 1

The dimensions of water tank are,

Length $\left(l\right)=2.5m=250cm$

Breath $\left(b\right)=2m=200cm$

Height $\left(h\right)=Xcm\left(say\right)$

$\because$ Volume of water tank $=1500l$

$⟹lbh=1500\times 1000{cm}^3$

$⟹250\times 200\times X=1500\times 1000{cm}^3$

$⟹50000\times X=1500000{cm}^3$

$⟹X=\frac{1500000}{50000}=30cm$

$\therefore$ Height of the water tank $=30cm$
