Question

Match the following cuboid shaped oil tanks with their volumes.

• A. 24 cu ft
• B. 80 cu ft
• C. 36 cu ft

Answer 1

The first cuboid is


Volume = Base area $\times$ Height

Base area = 16 sq ft

Height = 5 ft

Volume = 16 $\times$5 = 80 cu. ft

Hence, volume of the first tank is 80 cu. ft

The second cuboid is


Volume = Base area $\times$ Height

Base area = 9 sq ft

Height = 4 ft

Volume = 9 $\times$4 = 36 cu. ft

Hence, volume of the second tank is 36 cu. ft

The next cuboid is


Volume = Base area $\times$ Height

Base area = 4 sq ft

Height = 6 ft

Volume = 4 $\times$ 6 = 24 cu. ft

Hence, volume of the last tank is 24 cu. ft
