A water tank is a cube of side 2m.The depth of water in it is 60cm.What is the volume of water in the tank?
First, we need to convert the depth of water from centimeters to meters:
60 cm = 0.6 m
The volume of water in the tank can be calculated by multiplying the area of the base of the tank (2m x 2m) by the depth of water (0.6m):
Volume = 2m x 2m x 0.6m
Volume = 2 x 2 x 0.6
Volume = 2.4 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of water in the tank is 2.4 cubic meters.
