Answer: 2.65 meters.

Explanation:

To find the depth of the liquid in the tank, we need to divide the volume of the liquid by the area of the base of the tank.

Given that the tank is in the shape of a cuboid with a width of 3 m and a length of 1.4 m, we can calculate the area of the base by multiplying the width and length together:

Area of the base = width × length

Area of the base = 3 m × 1.4 m

Area of the base = 4.2 m²

Next, we can find the depth of the liquid by dividing the volume of the liquid (11.13 m³) by the area of the base:

Depth of the liquid = Volume of the liquid / Area of the base

Depth of the liquid = 11.13 m³ / 4.2 m²

Depth of the liquid ≈ 2.65 m

Therefore, the depth of the liquid in the tank is approximately 2.65 meters.
