Question

Calculate the volume of liquid in the tank sketched below. Give your answer in liters, and round to the nearest 0.1 L.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.3 L

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular cube can be calculated using the following formula:

Volume (L) = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)

Keep in mind that 1 L = 1,000 cm³.

Before you can plug the values into the equation, you need to make sure they all have the same unit. Since the length is in meters (m), you need to first convert it to centimeters.

1 meter = 100 cm

 0.159 m           100 cm
---------------  x  ----------------  =  15.9 cm
                           1 m

Now, you can solve for the volume. To find the answer is the unit liters, you need to divide the volume by 1,000.

Volume = l x w x h

Volume = 15.9 cm x 10.5 cm x 7.7 cm

Volume = 1,285.5 cm³

Volume = 1.2855 L ------>  Volume = 1.3 L
