Question

A milk tank is made up of a cuboid with dimensions 9 ft, 10 ft, 10 ft, and another cuboid with length 8 ft, width 8 ft, and height 10 ft. Calculate the combined volume of the tank.

• A. 1,530 cubic feet
• B. 1,540 cubic feet
• C. 1,550 cubic feet
• D. 1,560 cubic feet

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1,540 cubic feet

Volume of the tank = Sum of volume of both the cuboids

Volume of cuboid
= Length $\times$ Width $\times$ Height

Volume of first cuboid
= 9 $\times$ 10 $\times$ 10 = 900 cubic feet

Volume of second cuboid
= 8 $\times$ 8 $\times$ 10 = 640 cubic feet

Total volume = 900 + 640 = 1540 cubic feet
