Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 1988 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

A water tank is made with a right-angled trapezium - shaped vertical cross-section so that when it is placed on sloping ground the top of the tank is level. The dimension are given in the diagram above
By what number will you multiply your answer in 22 above to determine the capacity of the tank in liters?

Answer Details
The volume of the tank in cubic meters is 3008 m^3, as we found in question 22. To convert this volume to liters, we need to multiply by 1000, since there are 1000 liters in one cubic meter: V_liters = V_meters^3 * 1000 V_liters = 3008 * 1000 V_liters = 3,008,000 liters Therefore, we need to multiply our answer from question 22 by 1000 to determine the capacity of the tank in liters. The closest answer choice is 1000, which is the correct answer.
