A water tank of height \(\frac{1}{2}\) m has a square base of side \(1\frac{1}{2}\) m. lf it is filled with water from a water tanker holding 1500 litres, how many litres of water are left in the water tanker? [1000 litres = 1m\(^3\)]

Answer Details

The volume of the water tank can be calculated as follows: Volume of tank = Base area x Height = (1.5m x 1.5m) x 0.5m = 1.125 m\(^3\) Since 1000 litres = 1 m\(^3\), the volume of the tank is equivalent to 1,125 litres. Therefore, the amount of water left in the water tanker after filling the tank is: 1500 - 1125 = 375 litres. Hence, the answer is 375 litres.
