Question

A rectangular vessel is $10cm$ long and $8cm$ wide. How high it must be made to hold $480$ cubic centimeters of liquid?

Answer 1

STEP 1 : Given

Length (l) $=10cm$

Breadth (b) $=8cm$

Height (h) $=x$

Volume of rectangular vessel $=480c{m}^3$

STEP 2 : Finding the height of the vessel

Volume $=l\times b\times h$

$480=10\times 8\times x$

$x=\frac{480}{10\times 8}=\frac{480}{80}$

$x=6cm$

Hence, the rectangular vessel must be made $6cm$ high to hold $480$ cubic centimeters of liquid.
