(a) what was the volume of water in tank B at first

(b) what was the volume of water in tank B at the end

Answer 1

Answer: V=B*c

B=200cm²

c=35cm

Vb=200*35

Vb=7000 cm

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: a) 4480cm³

b)2520cm³

Explanation:

a) Volume of tank B:

V=B*c

B=200cm²

c=35cm

Vb=200*35

Vb=7000 cm³

---------------------------------------

b) Volume of water in tank B on the end(Vend) is claculated like:

Fiirst we find volume of tank Va(that is how much water was pured out of tank B), than Vb-Va to get volume of water in tank B at the end

Va=abc

a=20cm

b=14cm

c=16cm

Va=20*14*16

Va=4480cm³

Vend=Vb-Va

Vend=7000cm³-4480cm³

Vend=2520cm³
