Question:
A cuboidal vessel is 10 cm long and 5 cm wide. How high it must be made to hold 300 cm3 of a liquid?
Solution:
Let $h \mathrm{~cm}$ be the height of the cuboidal vessel.
Given :
Length $=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
Breadth $=5 \mathrm{~cm}$
Volume of the vessel $=300 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$
Now, volume of a cuboid $=$ length $\times$ breadth $\times$ height
$\Rightarrow 300=10 \times 5 \times h$
$\Rightarrow 300=50 \times h$
$\therefore h=\frac{300}{50}=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
