Answer:

The smallest possible length is 0.83m

Explanation:

Given


Volume = 565L

Required

The smallest length of the tank

Since the tank is cubical, then the volume is:


Volume = Length^3

This gives:


565L= Length^3

Express as
m^3


(565m^3)/(1000) = Length^3


0.565m^3 = Length^3

Take cube roots of both sides


0.8267m = Length

Rewrite as:


Length = 0.8267m

Approximate


Length = 0.83m
