Question

A cuboidal vessel is$10m$ long and $8m$ wide. How high must it be made to hold $380cubicmetres$ of a liquid ?

Answer 1

Finding the height of the vessel:

We have:

Length of the cuboidal vessel, $l=10m$

Width of cuboidal vessel,$b=8m$

Volume of cuboidal vessel,$V=380m^3$

Let height be,$h$

We know that Formula for volume of cuboid$=l\times b\times h$

$\begin{array}{rcl}10\times 8\times h& =& 380\\ 80xh& =& 380\\ h& =& 4.75m\end{array}$

Therefore, the height of the vessel is$4.75m$.
