A tank with a square base of 40 cm was
38 filled with water After another 45760 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 45760 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
38=
2024 -
924=
11241124 of the tank = 45760
124 of the tank = 45760 ÷ 11 = 4160
2424 of the tank = 24 x 4160 = 99840
99840 mℓ = 99.84 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 99.84 ℓ
(b)
2024 of the tank = 20 x 4160 = 83200
Final height of the water in the tank
=
8320040 x 40 = 52 cm
Answer(s): (a) 99.84 ℓ; (b) 52 cm
