Question
The capacity of a rectangular tank is 5.2 m3 and the area of its base is 2.6 x 104 cm2; find its height (depth).
Solution
Capacity of a tank = 5.2 m3
and area of its base = 2.6 x 104 cm2
= `(2.6 xx 10000)/(100 xx 100) = 2.6`m2
⇒ lb = 2.6 m2
and lbh = 5.2 m3
∴ Height (h) = `5.2/2.6 = 2 "m"`
