A tank with a square base of 40 cm was
14 filled with water After another 56000 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 56000 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
14=
1012 -
312=
712712 of the tank = 56000
112 of the tank = 56000 ÷ 7 = 8000
1212 of the tank = 12 x 8000 = 96000
96000 mℓ = 96 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 96 ℓ
(b)
1012 of the tank = 10 x 8000 = 80000
Final height of the water in the tank
=
8000040 x 40 = 50 cm
Answer(s): (a) 96 ℓ; (b) 50 cm
