A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
14 filled with water After another 35000 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
35 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 35000 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
35 -
14=
1220 -
520=
720720 of the tank = 35000
120 of the tank = 35000 ÷ 7 = 5000
2020 of the tank = 20 x 5000 = 100000
100000 mℓ = 100 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 100 ℓ
(b)
1220 of the tank = 12 x 5000 = 60000
Final height of the water in the tank
=
6000050 x 50 = 24 cm
Answer(s): (a) 100 ℓ; (b) 24 cm
