The volume of the tank is given by the formula:
volume= length times breadth times height, or for short:
V= lbh Let's divide both sides by lb:
V/lb= h Now we can plug in the numbers:
750/(2.5*1.5)= h
750/3.75= h
h= 200
Check your numbers. 1.5 x 2.5 is a very small area for a tank with 750 x 2= 1500 liters. Is it 15 x 25? Or is the water poured into the tank 750ml (0.750liters)?
