A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
14 filled with water After another 41250 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
45 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 41250 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
45 -
14=
1620 -
520=
11201120 of the tank = 41250
120 of the tank = 41250 ÷ 11 = 3750
2020 of the tank = 20 x 3750 = 75000
75000 mℓ = 75 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 75 ℓ
(b)
1620 of the tank = 16 x 3750 = 60000
Final height of the water in the tank
=
6000050 x 50 = 24 cm
Answer(s): (a) 75 ℓ; (b) 24 cm
