Question

The capacity of a cuboidal tank is $50kl$. If its length and depth are $2.5m$ and $10m$respectively, then
its breadth is _____________.

Answer 1

Find the breadth of the tank

Given that,

Length $\left(l\right)$ of tank $=2.5m$

Height $\left(h\right)$ of tank $=10m$

The volume of the tank $=50kl=50m^3$ $(1kl=1m^3)$

Let the breadth of the tank be $bm$

We have, capacity of the tank $=$ Volume of the cuboidal tank $=50m^3$

The volume of the cuboidal tank of length $l$, breadth $b$ and height $h$ $=l\times b\times h$

$$\begin{gathered} \therefore 50=2.5\times b\times 10 \\ \Rightarrow b=\frac{50}{2.5\times 10} \\ \Rightarrow b=2m \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the breadth of tank is $2m$

Hence, The capacity of a cuboidal tank is $50kl$. If its length and depth are $2.5m$ and $10m$respectively, then
its breadth is _$2m$
