A technical machinist is asked to build a cubical steel tank that will hold of water. Calculate in meters the smallest possible inside length of the tank. Round your answer to the nearest .

Respuesta :

Answer:

The smallest possible length is 0.83m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Volume = 565L[/tex]

Required

The smallest length of the tank

Since the tank is cubical, then the volume is:

[tex]Volume = Length^3[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]565L= Length^3[/tex]

Express as [tex]m^3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{565m^3}{1000} = Length^3[/tex]

[tex]0.565m^3 = Length^3[/tex]

Take cube roots of both sides

[tex]0.8267m = Length[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]Length = 0.8267m[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]Length = 0.83m[/tex]
