Question

A sealed tank of water measures 10cm x 8 cm x 40cm. When it stands on one

Answer 1

Answer:

New height = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The water is going to be the same volume no matter how the tank is orientated.

So you can do this 2 ways.

First way

Find the volume in the tank when the water goes up 24 cm on the height.

V = L*W*h

L = 8

W = 10

H = 24

V = 1920 cm^3

Now do it using the

L = 40

W = 8

h = ?

1920 = L * W * h

1920 = 40 * 8 * h

1920 = 320 * h

h * 320 = 1920

h = 1920/320

h = 6

Or you can do it without finding the 1920

L*W*h = L1 * w1 * h1

8*10*24 = 40 * 8 * h                                The 8's cancel

10*24 = 40*h                                           Divide both sides by 10

24 = 4h                                                    Divide by 4

h = 6

Same as you got before.
