Answer:
Volume of removed water = Length X width X decrease in water level
⇒ 18 = 20 X width X 0.15
∴ width = 6 metre

8Given:
A tank is in the form of a cuboid whose length is 20 metres. If 18 cubic metres of water is removed from it the water level goes down by 15 centimetres.
To find:
The width of the tank.
Solution:
The width of the tank is 6m.
To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:
As given, we have,
The length of a tank which is in the form of cuboid = 20m
Now,
When 18 cubic metres of water is removed, the water level goes down by = 15cm = 0.15m (as 1m = 100cm)
Now,
We know that the volume of a cuboid is equal to the product of length, breadth and height of that cuboid.
Here,
The volume of removed water
= length × width × decreased height of water
So,
[tex]20 \times width \times 0.15 = 18[/tex]
[tex]3 \times width = 18[/tex]
[tex]width = 6m[/tex]
Hence, the width of the tank is 6m.
