A tank with a square base of 40 cm was
38 filled with water After another 22880 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
56 full.
- Find the capacity of the tank in litres.
- Find the final height of the water in the tank.
(a)
Fraction of the tank when 22880 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 22880
124 of the tank = 22880 ÷ 11 = 2080
2424 of the tank = 24 x 2080 = 49920
49920 mℓ = 49.92 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 49.92 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 2080 = 41600
Final height of the water in the tank
=
4160040 x 40 = 26 cm
Answer(s): (a) 49.92 ℓ; (b) 26 cm
