Question

Work out the length of the container. Giver your answer to the nearest whole centimetre.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the container = 82 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Breadth of the container is 40 cm and height of the container is 55 cm

Volume of the container is 180 litres

To find: length of the container

Solution:

A container is in the shape of the cuboid.

Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Put breadth = 40 cm , height = 55 cm and volume = 180 litres = 180000 $cm^3$

(as 1 litre = 1000 $cm^3$ )

Therefore,

$180000=length\,\times \,40\times 55\\length = \frac{180000}{40\times 55}=81.82\approx 82\,\,cm$
