Question

The capacity of a rectangular tank is 5.2m³ and the area of its base is2.6*10⁴cm² ; find its height

Answer 1

Capacity = Volume of a rectangular tank = Area of base * height
Area of base = 2.6*10^4 cm^2
1 cm = 1/100 m
Area of base = 2.6*10^4 * (1/100) * (1/100) m^2
= 2.6 m^2
Volume =Area of base * height
5.2 = 2.6 *h
h = 5.2/2.6
h=2m
