Answer:

The tank is 10cm high

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L=60cm[/tex] -- length

[tex]W=60cm[/tex] -- width

[tex]x = \frac{1}{5}[/tex] --- water lever

[tex]Addition = 24L[/tex]

Required

The height of the tank

Let y represents the remaining fraction before water is added.

So:

[tex]y + x = 1[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = 1 - x[/tex]

[tex]y = 1 - \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Solve

[tex]y = \frac{5 - 1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Represent the volume of the tank with v

So:

[tex]y * v = 24L[/tex]

Make v the subject

[tex]v = \frac{24L}{y}[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]y = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{24L}{4/5}[/tex]

[tex]v = 30L[/tex]

Represent the height of the tank with h;

So, the volume of the tank is:

[tex]v = lwh[/tex]

Make h the subject

[tex]h = \frac{v}{lw}[/tex]

Substitute values for v, l and w

[tex]h = \frac{30L}{60cm * 50cm}[/tex]

Convert 30L to cm^3

[tex]h = \frac{30*1000cm^3}{60cm * 50cm}[/tex]

[tex]h = \frac{30000cm^3}{3000cm^2}[/tex]

[tex]h = 10cm[/tex]
