a solid pyramid of height 40 cm with a square base of sides 30 cm each is put into a cubicle tank of sides 40 cm each. the tank is then filled with water. If the pyramid is removed, find the depth of water in the tank.
-
Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x Area of base x height
= 1/3 x 900 x 40
= 12000 cm^3
Volume of tank = length x breadth x height
= 40 x 40 x 40
= 64000 cm^3
64000 - 12000 = 52000 cm^3 water left
52000 cm^3 / 40 x 40 = h
h = 32.5cm
So, the depth of water in the tank is 32.5 cm. Hopefully that helped!
Hello Guest!

VTank = \(40^3 cm^3=64000cm^3\)
VPy = \(\frac{1}{3}\times 30^2cm^2\times 40cm=12000cm^3\)
VRest = VTank - VPy = \(64000cm^3-12000cm^3=52000cm^3\)
h = VRest / ATank = \( \frac{52000cm^3}{40^2cm^2}{\color{blue}=32,5cm}\)
