The aquarium has a bottom area of 32 dm² and a height of 58 cm. Determine the amount of water poured
The aquarium has a bottom area of 32 dm² and a height of 58 cm. Determine the amount of water poured if the aquarium is half full.
To solve the problem, we first reduce the data to one dimension. Let’s define the number of square centimeters in 32 square decimeters.
1dm2. = 100.cm2.
32dm2 = 32 * 100 = 3200 cm2
Find the volume of the aquarium. Volume is the product of area and height.
3200 * 58 = 182600 cm3
The problem says that the aquarium is half full of water. Therefore, we need to divide the volume of the aquarium by 2.
182600/2 = 91300 cm3
Thus, we have established that in the aquarium 91300 cm3 .. To determine the mass of water in the aquarium, you must use the formula:
m =: 3
m = 1 * 91300 = 91300 (gr)
91,300/1000 = 91.3 kg.
Answer: the mass of the poured water in the aquarium is 91 kg. 300 gr.
