An empty rectangular tank is 70 cm long and 50 cm wide. It is being filled with water flowing from a tap at a rate of 10000 ml per minute . If it takes 14 minutes to fill the tank to its brim, find the height of the tank.

2.
Vtank=10000 mlmin.⋅14 min.Vtank=10000 ml⋅14Vtank=14⋅10000 ml 1 ml=1 cm3 Vtank=14⋅10000 cm3

The height of the tank is 40 cm
Vrectangular=L*W*H
Vrectangular-capacity
L-long
W-wide
H-height
if it fulls it in 14 minutes in rate of 10000 ml per minute so after 14 minutes:
14*10000=140000
140000=Vrectangular
So we know:
140000=70*50*H
H=140000/(70*50)
H=40
Answer:40
