A tank with a square base of 50 cm was
25 filled with water After another 59500 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 59500 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
34 -
25=
1520 -
820=
720720 of the tank = 59500
120 of the tank = 59500 ÷ 7 = 8500
2020 of the tank = 20 x 8500 = 170000
170000 mℓ = 170 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 170 ℓ
(b)
1520 of the tank = 15 x 8500 = 127500
Final height of the water in the tank
=
12750050 x 50 = 51 cm
Answer(s): (a) 170 ℓ; (b) 51 cm
