A square tank holds 15,000 litres of water. If its depth is 2.5 m, find the length of one side of its base.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Volume = 15,000 liters = 15 m³
Depth = 2.5 m
According to the formula:
Volume = Base Area × Height
Base Area = 15 / 2.5 = 6 m²
Side² = 6
Side = √6 ≈ 2.45 m
