To find the depth of the water in the tank, we first need to convert the volume from cubic meters to cubic centimeters since the dimensions of the tank are in centimeters.
1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³
Therefore, 36 m³ = 36,000,000 cm³
The volume of a rectangular tank is given by the formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Depth
Substitute the known values:
36,000,000 cm³ = 6 cm x 2 cm x Depth
Solve for Depth:
Depth = 36,000,000 cm³ / (6 cm x 2 cm)
Depth = 3,000,000 cm / 12 cm
Depth = 250,000 cm
Therefore, the water in the tank is 250,000 cm deep.
A rectangular tank 6 cm long by 2 cm wide holds 36 m³ of water. How deep is the water in the tank
