GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Shapes & Area: Volume - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the time required to fill a prism-shaped oil tank to 85% of its capacity. It covers the calculation of the tank's volume using the area of a trapezium, conversion of volume from cubic meters to liters, and the determination of the time needed based on a constant oil flow rate. The tutorial also discusses the impact of varying flow rates on the time calculation.

What is the shape of the cross-section of the prism-shaped tank?

• Rectangle

• Circle

• Trapezium

• Triangle

How many liters are equivalent to 1 cubic meter?

• 500 liters

• 1500 liters

• 1000 liters

• 2000 liters

What is the total volume of the tank in cubic meters?

• 14.6 cubic meters

• 13.2 cubic meters

• 12.8 cubic meters

• 10.5 cubic meters

How many liters of oil are needed to fill the tank to 85% of its capacity?

• 10,000 liters

• 11,220 liters

• 12,000 liters

• 13,200 liters

If the flow rate is 300 liters per minute, how many more minutes are needed to fill the tank to 85%?

• 34.4 minutes

• 32.4 minutes

• 36.4 minutes

• 30.4 minutes

What would happen to the time required if the flow rate were slower?

• It would take less time

• It would take more time

• Time would remain the same

• It would depend on the tank size

What is the importance of checking the assumption about the flow rate?

• To calculate the exact amount of oil needed

• To ensure the tank is not overfilled

• To verify the tank's dimensions

• To accurately determine the time required
