Question

In a certain housing colony, a tank 2.5 m long, 2 m broad and 3 m high was made for collecting rainwater. How much water will it hold?

Answer 1

Length of tank = 2.5 m
Breadth of tank = 2 m
Height of tank = 3 m
The volume of water in the tank will be equal to the volume of tank.
Since, volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height
⇒ Volume of tank = 2.5 m × 2 m × 3 m = 15 m³
Thus, the tank can hold 15 cubic metres of water.
