Surface Areas and Volumes

NCERT Exercise Exercise 13.5

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.
 

length = 2.5 m, depth = 10 m and volume = 50000 litres
1m3 = 1000 litres

∴ 50000 litres = 50000/1000 m3 = 50 m3
Breadth = Volume of cuboid/(Length x Depth)
= 50/(2.5 x 10) m
= 2 m
