A cuboidal vessel is 10 cm long and 8 cm wide. How high must it be made to hold 480 cubic centimetres of a liquid ?

Explanation

Given:
Volume of cuboidal vessel is `(V)=480 cm^3`.
Length of the cuboidal vessel is `(l)=10 cm`.
Breadth of the cuboidal vessel is `(b)=8 cm`.
Now,
`V=l\timesbtimesh`
`480=10times8timesh`
`480=80timesh`
`h=480/80`
`h=6 cm`
Hence, the height of the cuboidal vessel must be `6 cm`.
