A rectangular tank measure 6m by 4m by 5m is half full of water. What volume of water is in the tank?
what is the answer of the question
Well, if the tank is half full, then it must be half empty. So, we need to find the volume of water in the half-empty tank. And, since the tank is rectangular, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length times width times height.
So, the volume of the tank is 6 meters times 4 meters times 5 meters, which is... 120 cubic meters!
But, remember, we need to find the volume of the half-empty tank. So, we divide that by 2, which gives us... 60 cubic meters!
So, the volume of water in the tank is 60 cubic meters. Just make sure to measure it with a water-filled ruler.
To find the volume of water in the tank, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: V = l x w x h, where V represents volume, l represents length, w represents width, and h represents height.
Given that the tank measures 6m by 4m by 5m, we can substitute these values into the formula. Thus, the volume of the tank is V = 6m x 4m x 5m.
However, since the tank is only half full of water, we need to find half of the volume of the tank.
To do this, we can multiply the volume of the tank by 0.5 (which represents 50% or half): V_water = V x 0.5.
Substituting the earlier value of V, we get V_water = (6m x 4m x 5m) x 0.5.
Now, we can calculate the actual volume of water in the tank.
