A tank with a square base of 30 cm was
25 filled with water After another 26040 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
34 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 26040 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
34 -
25=
1520 -
820=
720720 of the tank = 26040
120 of the tank = 26040 ÷ 7 = 3720
2020 of the tank = 20 x 3720 = 74400
74400 mℓ = 74.4 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 74.4 ℓ
(b)
1520 of the tank = 15 x 3720 = 55800
Final height of the water in the tank
=
5580030 x 30 = 62 cm
Answer(s): (a) 74.4 ℓ; (b) 62 cm
