Question

A cuboid shape aquarium is $100cm$ long and $50cm$ wide. It contains water up to a height of $30cm$. Find the volume of water in $m^3$.

• A. $0.15m^3$
• B. $1.5m^3$
• C. $15m^3$
• D. $150c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.15m^3$

Given:
Length of aquarium, $l=100cm=1m$
Breadth of aquarium, $b=50cm=0.5m$
Height of water in the aquarium, $h=30cm=0.3m$

For cuboid, volume is given as the product of length, breadth and height.
$V=lbh$
$V=1\times 0.5\times 0.3$
$V=0.15m^3$
