A rectangular tank with a base area of 700 cm2 is filled with 5.95 litre of water. The height of the tank is 10 cm. What is the height of the water level?

Question

I do not understand

Answer 1

First, we want to convert the volume of water into cubic centimeters, which is very easy since 1 Liter = 1,000cm³. So, we have 5,950cm³ of water.

 

We know that the Volume of the tank is equal to the Area of the base times the height. V = A_b x H

Our formula becomes 5,950cm³ = 700cm² x H

 

We then divide 5,950cm³ by 700cm² to give us the height, which is 8.5cm.
