GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Geometry & Measures: Volume of a Prism - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a tank with a trapezium cross-section and determine how long it takes to fill the tank to 85% capacity with oil flowing at a constant rate. It covers the conversion of volume from cubic meters to liters, the calculation of additional oil needed, and the time required for the oil to fill the tank. The tutorial also discusses the impact of assumptions about the flow rate on the calculations.

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?
