You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume = length * breadth * height
5.95 litres = 5950 cm^3
5950 = (length * breadth) * height
5950 = 700cm^2 * h
h = 5950/700
h = 8.5cm
If we assume the correct height of the tank = 10cm
then amount of liquid to fill it would be 700 * 10
= 7000cm^3
So, 7000 - 5950 = 1050cm^3 = 1.05 litres.
Hope this helps.
