A rectangular tin measures 10cm by 20cm. What is it's capacity in litres

1 answer

The capacity of the rectangular tin can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height.

Given that the tin measures 10cm x 20cm, we need to know the height of the tin to calculate its volume. Let's assume the height is 5cm.

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 10cm x 20cm x 5cm
Volume = 1000 cm^3

To convert cubic centimeters (cm^3) to liters (L), we divide by 1000:
Volume = 1000 cm^3 / 1000
Volume = 1 liter

Therefore, the capacity of the rectangular tin in liters is 1 liter.
