A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
14 filled with water After another 106750 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 106750 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
14=
1012 -
312=
712712 of the tank = 106750
112 of the tank = 106750 ÷ 7 = 15250
1212 of the tank = 12 x 15250 = 183000
183000 mℓ = 183 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 183 ℓ
(b)
1012 of the tank = 10 x 15250 = 152500
Final height of the water in the tank
=
15250050 x 50 = 61 cm
Answer(s): (a) 183 ℓ; (b) 61 cm
