Question

A cubical tank of edge 12 cm is half filled with water. The water is poured into an empty rectangular tank measuring 10 cm by 8 cm by 7 cm until it is full. How much water is left in the cubical tank? Give your answer in millilitres.

Answer 1

Answer:

3040000mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cube = a³ ; a = size of edge

Volume of cubical tank = 12³ = 12 * 12 * 12 = 1728 cm³

Half filled cube = 1728 / 2 = 864 cm³

Volume is f rectangular tank :

V = length * width * height

V = 10 * 8 * 7 = 560 cm³

Volume of water left in cubical tank :

(864 - 560) = 304cm³

1cm³ = 1000mm³

304cm³ = 304 * 1000 = 3040000mm³
