Question

A rectangular tank has its width exactly half its length. That the height of the tank is 3M and the length is 8m. What is the volume of the tank in M3?

Answer 1

Volume = 96m^3

Explanation:

If the length of the tank is 8 meters, then the width must be 4 meters, because the question said the width was half the length. Since the height, 3 meters, was also given, we can find the volume.

Vol = L × w × h

We multiply together the length, width and height.

Vol = 8 × 4 × 3

= 96

The volume is 96 meters^3
