Answer 1

Answer:  19.5 cm

==========================================================

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular block is V = L*W*H. So we multiply the length L, width W and H.

For the smaller rectangular block, up to the water level shown, we have a volume of V = L*W*H = 12*8*7 = 672 cubic cm

Since 1000 cm^3 represents 1 liter, this means the tank has 672/1000 = 0.672 liters of water already.

Add on another 1.2 liters of water to get to 1.2+0.672 = 1.872

Therefore, the full tank's capacity is 1.872 liters

This converts to 1.872*1000 = 1872 cm^3

--------------------------------------------

The largest rectangular block has volume 1872 cm^3

We know the length and width (along the bottom) is L = 12 and W = 8 respectively. The height is unknown, but we can solve for it like so

V = L*W*H

L*W*H = V

12*8*H = 1872

96H = 1872

H = 1872/96

H = 19.5

The height of the tank is 19.5 cm

Answer 2

$\displaystyle\bf \boxed{V=abh \ ; \ 1dm^3=1litre=1000cm^3} \\\\a=12cm \ ; \ b=8 cm ;\: h_1=7 \; ; \ h_0=h_1+h_2=?\\\\abh_2=1,2litre=1,2dm^3\ = 1200cm^3\\\\ 8\cdot 12 h_2=1200\\\\h_2=12.5 cm\: then \\\\h_0= 7+12,5=19,5 \\\\Answer : the \ height \ of \ the \ tank \ is \ 19,5 cm$
