Question

The volume of a soap cake is $160c{m^3}$ Its length and width are 10cm and 5cm find its height.

Answer 1

Hint : Here, we will be using the formula for the volume of a cuboid as soap cakes are usually in the shapes of cuboids.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given , the volume of a soap take is $160c{m^3}$, the length is 10cm and width is 5cm.
Now , volume of soap = length*width*height
          $160\; = 10 \times 5 \times h$
          $h\; = \dfrac{{16{0}}}{{5{0}}} = 3.2{\text{cm}}{\text{.}}$

$\therefore $ height of soap cake is 3.2cm.

Note : In these types of questions, identifying the shape of a soap cake is important, so that the volume formula for the respective can be used. And also you should know the formula of regular shapes for all the figures .
