The capacity of a certain cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its height and length are 10 m and 2.5 m respectively.
Given details are,
Capacity (volume) of cuboidal tank is = 50000 litre = 50 m3
Height of tank = 10 m
Length of tank = 2.5 m
Let breadth of tank be ‘b’ m
We know that,
Volume = l × b × h
b = volume / (l × h)
= 50/(10×2.5)
= 2m
∴ Breadth of tank is 2m
