Dennis is making a container for tomato plant. The container will be in the shape of a cuboid.

missing length ? 40cm by 55cm.
The capacity of the container will be 180 litres.
1 Litre =1000cm cuboid.

Answer 1

Length of the container = 82 cm

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\,* \,40* 55\\length = (180000)/(40* 55)=81.82\approx 82\,\,cm`
