Q3 of 24 Page 145

A tank, which is cuboidal in shape, has volume 6.4 m3. The length and breadth of the base are 2 m and 1.6 m respectively. Find the depth of the tank.

Given: Volume of a cuboidal tank = 6.4 m3

Length (l) = 2 m


Breadth (b) = 1.6 m


Depth = ?


Volume of a cuboidal tank = lbh


6.4 = 2 × 1.6 × h


6.4 = 3.2 × h


h =


= 2 m


Therefore, the depth of a tank is 2 m
