Rectangular tank
(the tank should have the dimensions of 25 metres by 4 metres)

1 answer

The surface area of a rectangular tank can be calculated by adding up the areas of all its sides.

In this case, the tank has dimensions of 25 meters by 4 meters.

The top and bottom of the tank each have an area of 25 meters * 4 meters = 100 square meters.
The two sides of the tank each have an area of 4 meters * 25 meters = 100 square meters.
The front and back of the tank each have an area of 25 meters * 4 meters = 100 square meters.

Adding up all the areas, the total surface area of the rectangular tank is 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 600 square meters.

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular tank is 600 square meters.
