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 mentioned in the text?

How many liters of oil are in the tank after one minute?

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

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

How long will it take to fill the tank to 85% capacity after the first minute?

Explain how a change in the rate of flow could affect the time taken to fill the tank.

What is the rate of flow of oil into the tank?
