Question from jake, a student:

a storage tank is in the form of a cube. when it is full of water, the volume of water is 15.625 m cube. if the present depth of water is 1.3m, find the volume of water already used from tank

Hi Jake,

I can help you get started on this problem.

If the side length of a cube is meters then its volume is s^3 cubic meters. You know the volume is 15.625 cubic meters so what is s?
