Q2 of 14 Page 309

Find the capacity of the tanks with the following internal dimensions. Express the capacity in cubic meters and liters for each tank.

i: Length = 3m 20cm = 3.2m

Breadth = 2m 90cm = 2.9m


Height = 1m 50cm = 1.5m


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= 3.2 × 2.9 × 1.5


= 13.92 m3


ii: Length = 2m 50cm = 2.5m


Breadth = 1m 60cm = 1.6m


Height = 1m 30cm = 1.3m


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= 2.5 × 1.6 × 1.3


= 5.2 m3


iii: Length = 7m 30cm = 7.3m


Breadth = 3m 60cm = 3.6m


Height = 1m 40cm = 1.4m


Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height


= 7.3 × 3.6 × 1.4


= 36.792 m3
