Given a Rectangle
The parking area is to be covered by 5 cm thick tar. Work out the volume of tar needed for this. If the length is 120 m and breadth is 40 m
5 cm = .05m
40m * 120m * .05m = ?
HOw???
Onine "*" indicates multiplication
i mean what formula is used
Length * width * Height = Volume
To find the volume of tar needed to cover the parking area, you need to calculate the volume of the rectangular prism formed by the length, breadth, and thickness of the tar.
The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:
Volume = Length x Breadth x Height
In this case, the length of the parking area is 120 m, the breadth is 40 m, and the thickness of the tar is 5 cm. However, for simplicity, we need to ensure all measurements are in the same unit. So, let's convert the thickness from centimeters to meters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
Therefore, the thickness of the tar in meters = 5 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.05 m
Now we have all the necessary measurements in meters, we can calculate the volume:
Volume = 120 m x 40 m x 0.05 m
Multiplying the numbers, we get:
Volume = 240 m³
Hence, the volume of tar needed for this parking area is 240 cubic meters.
