If a tank of water has a 300 cm^3 area (it is 20.0 cm long and 15.0 cm wide), if it has a volume of 1.20 x 10^4 cm^3, what is its height in meters? Also, what is the capacity in liters of the tank? Also, how many kilograms of water at 4 degrees C will the tank hold?

Okay ....
1.The area of the tank is 300 cm^2 (not 300 cm^3)
2.V=(surface area) x(height)=Ah
h=V/A=(1.20 x 10^4 cm^3)/( is 300 cm^2)=40cm
3.Since 1liter=1000cm^3 then the capacity is 12 liters
You ask what the capacity is. Well the density of water is 1gm/cm^3 however at 4 degrees Centigrade the density of water is 1.000gm/cm^3 so the tank wil hold 12.00 kg
I hope it helps.
Sojsail thanks for correction.

Small errors in Edward D's work. 14 liters and 14 Kg should have been 12 liters and 12 Kg.
