Question

The length, breadth and height of an oil can are 20 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm respectively as shown in the adjacent figure. How much oil will it contain? (1 litre = 1000 cm³)

Answer 1

Given: For the cuboidal can, 

length (l) = 20 cm, 

breadth (b) = 20 cm, 

height (h) = 30 cm 

To find: Oil that can be contained in the can.

 Volume of cuboid = l × b × h 

= 20 × 20 × 30 

= 12000 cm³ 

= 12000/1000 litres 

= 12 litres 

∴ The oil can will contain 12 litres of oil.
