A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
38 filled with water After another 104500 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 104500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 104500
124 of the tank = 104500 ÷ 11 = 9500
2424 of the tank = 24 x 9500 = 228000
228000 mℓ = 228 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 228 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 9500 = 190000
Final height of the water in the tank
=
19000050 x 50 = 76 cm
Answer(s): (a) 228 ℓ; (b) 76 cm
