The volume of the tank is:
V = l × w × h
V = 60 cm × 40 cm × 30 cm
V = 72,000 cm³
The volume of water in the tank is:
Vwater = l × w × hwater
Vwater = 60 cm × 40 cm × 18 cm
Vwater = 43,200 cm³
To find out how much more water is needed to completely fill the tank, we subtract the volume of water in the tank from the volume of the tank:
Vneeded = V - Vwater
Vneeded = 72,000 cm³ - 43,200 cm³
Vneeded = 28,800 cm³
Therefore, 28,800 cubic centimetres of water are needed to completely fill the tank.
A water storage tank is shaped like a rectangular prism. The tank measures 60 centimetres
by 40 centimetres by 30 centimetres. The height of the water in the tank is 18 centimetres.
How many more cubic centimetres of water are needed to completely fill the tank?
