A cuboidal water tank is 6m long, 5m wide and 4.5m deep. How many litres of water can it hold? (1 m3= 1000 l)

Solution:

Dimensions of a cuboidal water tank are: l = 6 m and b = 5 m and h = 4.5 m

Formula to find volume of tank, V = l×b×h

Put the values, we get

V = (6×5×4.5) = 135

Volume of water tank is 135 m3

Again,

We are given that, amount of water that 1m3 volume can hold = 1000 l

Amount of water, 135 m3volume hold = (135×1000) litres = 135000 litres

Therefore, given cuboidal water tank can hold up to135000 litres of water.
