Find the area of metal sheet required to make an open tank of length = 10 m, breadth = 7.5 m and depth = 3.8 m.
Answer
Given:
Length of the tank = 10 m
Breadth of the tank = 7.5 m
Height of the tank = 3.8 m
Area of metal sheet = Area of 4 walls of the tank + area of its base
= 2(l + b)h + l x b
= 2(10 + 7.5)3.8 + 10 x 7.5
= 2 x 17.5 x 3.8 + 75
= 133 + 75
= 208 m2
Hence, the area of metal sheet required to make an open tank is 208 m2.
