Question 905354: how do you work out how much water can fit into a container that is 2.1m wide and 600mm deep Found 2 solutions by josgarithmetic, KMST:Answer by josgarithmetic(39623) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How much water means either VOLUME (or mass). You have two dimensions, so you only have an area.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1
2.1 m = 21 decimeters = 21 dm
600 mm = 6 decimeters = 6 dm
What is the shape of the container?
If it a cylindrical tank with a 2.1 meter (21 dm) diameter and a 600 mm (6 dm) height,
its radius is .
Then, since the volume of a cylinder can be calculated as , the volume (in cubic decimeters, or liters)
that such a tank can hold (filled all the way to the rim) is
For practical purposes, you could easily fit 2,000 liters of water.
