a rectangular tank is 50 cm long 50 cm wide and 10 cm deep what is the volume of liquid it holds?

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular tank can be found using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth}
\]

Given:
- Length = 50 cm
- Width = 50 cm
- Depth = 10 cm

Substituting these values into the formula:

\[
V = 50 \, \text{cm} \times 50 \, \text{cm} \times 10 \, \text{cm} = 25,000 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

The volume of liquid the tank holds is **25,000 cubic centimeters (cm³)**.

Since 1 cm³ = 1 milliliter (mL), the tank holds **25,000 milliliters (mL)** or **25 liters (L)**.

Would you like further details or have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How would the volume change if the tank was filled halfway?
2. What is the volume in cubic meters (m³)?
3. How much liquid would the tank hold if the dimensions were doubled?
4. If the tank had a cylindrical shape, how would you calculate the volume?
5. What is the surface area of the rectangular tank?

**Tip:** Always ensure the units are consistent when calculating volume, such as using centimeters for all dimensions.
