HOW MANY LITRES OF WATER CAN FILL A TANK THAT MEASURES 50CM BY 10CM BY 20CM
volume = 50*10*20 cm^3
1 liter = 1000 cm^3
10litres
To determine the number of liters of water that can fill a tank with dimensions of 50 cm by 10 cm by 20 cm, we need to first calculate the volume of the tank in cubic centimeters and then convert it to liters.
The volume of a rectangular tank can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = Length x Width x Height
In this case, the length is 50 cm, the width is 10 cm, and the height is 20 cm. Applying the formula, we have:
Volume = 50 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm
= 10,000 cm³
Next, we need to convert cubic centimeters to liters. There are 1000 cubic centimeters in a liter. Therefore, the conversion factor is:
1 liter = 1000 cm³
So, to convert the volume from cubic centimeters to liters, we divide the volume by 1000:
Volume in liters = Volume in cm³ / 1000
= 10,000 cm³ / 1000
= 10 liters
Therefore, a tank with dimensions of 50 cm by 10 cm by 20 cm can hold 10 liters of water.
