A tank in the shape of a rectangular prism measures 10 decimeters by 4 decimeters by 6 decimeters. The tank is completely filled with 8908.8 liters of liquid.



What is the density of the liquid?




Respuesta :

Given dimensions of rectangular prism : 10dm * 4dm* 6dm

The tank is completely filled with 8908.8 gm

Volume of the tank = length * width * height

=> [tex]v= 10*4*6 = 240 dm^3[/tex]

We know, 1 cubic decimeter = 1 litre

[tex]240 dm^3= 240 litre[/tex]

It is obvious that, 8908.8 litres would not fit in a 240 l tank, so assuming 8908.8 gm.

We know, [tex]density =\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Density = [tex]\frac{8908.8}{240}= 37.12 gm/l[/tex] ... Answer
