Question 16

waecmaths question: 

The dimension of a water are 13cm, 10cm, and 70cm . If it is half-filled with water. Calculate the volume of water in litres.

Option A: 

4.55 litres

Option B: 

7.50litres

Option C: 

8.10 litres

Option D: 

9.55 litres

waecmaths solution: 

$\begin{align}  & Volume=length\times breath\times height=lbh \\ & V=13cm\times 10cm\times 70cm=9100c{{m}^{3}} \\ & \text{Since the tank is half filled, the volume will be } \\ & \frac{V}{2}=\frac{9100c{{m}^{3}}}{2}=4550c{{m}^{3}} \\ & 1litres=1000c{{m}^{3}} \\ & 4550c{{m}^{3}}=4.55litres \\\end{align}$
