A tank with a square base of 30 cm was
14 filled with water After another 34650 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 34650 cm
3 of water was poured into the tank
=
56 -
14=
1012 -
312=
712712 of the tank = 34650
112 of the tank = 34650 ÷ 7 = 4950
1212 of the tank = 12 x 4950 = 59400
59400 mℓ = 59.4 ℓ
Capacity of the tank = 59.4 ℓ
(b)
1012 of the tank = 10 x 4950 = 49500
Final height of the water in the tank
=
4950030 x 30 = 55 cm
Answer(s): (a) 59.4 ℓ; (b) 55 cm
