The volume of a rectangular tank is 588 cm3. Find the height of the tank if the base area is 49cm2.

1 answer

To find the height of the tank, we can use the equation for the volume of a rectangular tank, which is:

Volume = Base Area * Height

Given that the volume is 588 cm^3 and the base area is 49 cm^2, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the height:

588 = 49 * Height

Dividing both sides of the equation by 49, we get:

Height = 588 / 49

Simplifying the expression on the right side, we have:

Height = 12

Therefore, the height of the tank is 12 cm.
