The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m.

Solution

Let the breadth of the cuboidal tank be b m. l = 2.5 m h = 10 m
Capacity of the cuboidal tank = 50000 litres
equals 50000 over 1000 space straight m cubed space equals space 50 space straight m cubed
rightwards double arrow space space lbh equals 50
rightwards double arrow space 2.5 space straight x space straight b space straight x space 10 space equals space 50
rightwards double arrow space space space space space space 25 straight b space equals space 50
rightwards double arrow space space space space straight b equals 50 over 25 equals 2 space straight m
Hence, the breadth of the cuboidal tank is 2 m.
