The base area of a rectangular tank is 8 m². The tank contains 49 m³ of water. What is the height of the water level in the tank?(correct to 2 decimal places)
To find the height of the water level in the tank, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is given by:
Volume = Base Area × Height.
Given that the base area of the tank is 8 m² and the volume of water in the tank is 49 m³, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the height:
49 m³ = 8 m² × Height.
To solve for Height, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We do this by dividing both sides of the equation by the base area:
Height = (49 m³) / (8 m²).
Now we can simplify the equation:
Height = 6.125 m.
Therefore, the height of the water level in the tank is approximately 6.13 meters when rounded to two decimal places.
