Take Free Practice Test On 2026 JAMB UTME, Post UTME, WAEC SSCE, GCE, NECO SSCE
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Volume of cube = L3
33 = 27cm3
volume of rectangular tank = L x B X h
= 3 x 4 x 5
= 60cm3
volume of H2O the tank can now hold
= volume of rectangular tank - volume of cube
= 60 - 27
= 33cm3
Volume of cube = L3
33 = 27cm3
volume of rectangular tank = L x B X h
= 3 x 4 x 5
= 60cm3
volume of H2O the tank can now hold
= volume of rectangular tank - volume of cube
= 60 - 27
= 33cm3
