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

Concept Used: Volume of Cuboid = lbh


Where, l = length, b = breadth, and h = height of the cuboid.


Given: Length of the tank = 6 m


The breadth of the tank = 5 m


The height of the tank = 4.5 m


Explanation:


The given cuboidal water tank has its length (l) as 6 m, breadth (b) as 5 m and height (h) as 4.5 m respectively


The volume of tank = l × b × h


= (6 × 5 × 4.5) m3


= 135 m3


Amount of water that 1 m3 volume can hold = 1000 litres


Amount of water that 135 m3 volume can hold = (135 × 1000) litres


= 135000 litres


Hence, Amount of water that 135 m3 volume can hold is 135000 litres.
