Question

A rectangular water tank of base 7 m × 6 m contains water up to a depth of 5 m. How many cubic meters of water are there in the tank?

Answer 1

Given: A rectangular tank with base 7 m × 6 m and water depth 5 m.

Step-wise calculation:

1. Area of base

= Length × Breadth 

= 7 × 6

= 42 m²

2. Volume

= (Area of base) × Depth 

= 42 × 5

= 210 m³

The tank contains 210 cubic metres of water.
