Question

Bottom of a regular water tank has an area of $8m^2$. The volume of the tank is $16m^3$. What is the height of the tank?

• A. $1m$
• B. $2m$
• C. $3m$
• D. $4m$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2m$

Given:
Area of the bottom of the tank, $A=8m^2$
Volume of the tank, $V=16m^3$

Let the height of the tank be $h$.
Volume is the product of base area to the height for regular solids.
$V=Ah$
$16m^3=8m^2\times h$
$h=\frac{16}{8}m=2m$
