A tank with a square base of 30 cm was
13 filled with water After another 14500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank, it became
34 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 14500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
34 -
13=
912 -
412=
512512 of the tank = 14500
112 of the tank = 14500 ÷ 5 = 2900
1212 of the tank = 12 x 2900 = 34800
34800 mℓ = 34.8 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 34.8 ℓ
(b)
912 of the tank = 9 x 2900 = 26100
Final height of the water in the tank
=
2610030 x 30 = 29 cm
Answer(s): (a) 34.8 ℓ; (b) 29 cm
