Question

What is the volume in cubic metres of a rectangular tank 8 metres long, 4 metres wide and 500 centimetres deep?

• A. 130 cubic metres
• B. 170 cubic metres
• C. 160 cubic metres
• D. 150 cubic metres

Answer 1

The correct option is C

160 cubic metres

We need to convert centimetres into metres first.

100 cm = 1 m

So, 500 cm = 5 m

height = 500 cm = 5 m

Given : length= 8 m , width =4 m

Volume $V=length\times width\times height$

Volume $V=8\times 4\times 5=160m^3$
