A rectangular tank 0.3m long and 0.4m wide is completely filled with 36 litres of water. What is the height of the tank?

Answer:

300 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume

Volume is the measurement of how much space there is inside of a 3-D object.

For a rectangular prism, which this fish tank is, the formula for its volume given its dimensions is,

                                                       [tex]lwh=V[/tex],

where l is the length, w is the width and h is the height of the prism.

Using the Formula

The problem has given us the length and width of the tank and its volume--if the tanks hold 36 liters water then the tank can hold 36 liter of space-- and asks for its height.

We can use the volume formula, plug in the known values and rearrange to find the value of h!

                                          [tex](0.3)(0.4)h=36[/tex]

                                              [tex]0.12h=36[/tex]

                                           [tex]h=\dfrac{36}{0.12} =300[/tex]

So, the height of the tank is 300 meters.
