The capacity of cuboid tank is 50000 litres of water. Find breadth of tank, if its length is 2.5 m and its depth is 10 m?

The capacity of cuboid tank is 50000 litres of water. Find breadth of tank, if its length is 2.5 m and its depth is 10 m?

Explanation

Given:

Capacity = 50000 litres = 50 cubic meters (since 1 cubic meter = 1000 litres)

Length (l) = 2.5 m

Depth (h) = 10 m

Let's use the formula for the volume of a cuboid:

Volume = length × breadth × height

50 = 2.5 × breadth × 10

Now, solve for breadth (b):

50 = 25b

b = 50/25

b = 2 m
