a tank's length is 4 feet longer than its width. the height is 2 feet more than the width. the volume of the tank is 105 cubic feet. what is the width of the tank?



Answer :

The width of the tank, which has a length 4 feet longer than its width, the height is 2 feet more than the width which is three feet.

What is hit and trial method ?

The Hit and Trial Method is a very useful to solve the roots in a equation. In this , substituting different values of the variable and checking the equality of LHS and RHS is the trial and error method.

We have a tank ( cuboid shape) with

length, width and height and volume of tank is 105 cubic feet. Let length , width and height of tank be "l" feet , "w " feet and "h" feet.

lenght, l = w + 4

height, h = w + 2

Volume of tank , V = l× h × w

=> (w + 4 )×w × (w + 2) = 105

=> w ( w² + 6w + 8) = 105

=> w³ + 6 w²+ 8 w = 105

Using the hit and trial method to solve the above cubic equation in one variable, w.

We get, w = 3

So, the required width is 3 feet .
