Solution
Let side of a cube be = x m
∴ Volume of cubical tank = 15.625 m3 ...[Given]
⇒ x3 = 15.625 m3
⇒ x = 2.5 m
And present depth of water in cubical tank = 1.3 m
∴ Height of water used = 2.5 – 1.3 m = 1.2 m
Now, volume of water used = 1.2 × 2.5 × 2.5 = 7.5 m3
= 7.5 × 1000 ...[∴ 1 m3 = 1000 L]
= 7500 L
Hence, the volume of water already used from the tank is 7500 L.
