Answer
View full question & answer→Let h be the height of rectangular tank = volume of cylindrical bucket
$66\times28\times\text{h}=\pi\Big(\frac{28}{2}\Big)^2\times72$
$66\times28\times\text{h}=\frac{22}{7}\times14\times14\times72$
$\text{h}=\frac{22\times2\times14\times72}{66\times28}$
$\text{h}=24\text{cm}$
$$Hence, the height of rectangular tank is 24cm.
$66\times28\times\text{h}=\pi\Big(\frac{28}{2}\Big)^2\times72$
$66\times28\times\text{h}=\frac{22}{7}\times14\times14\times72$
$\text{h}=\frac{22\times2\times14\times72}{66\times28}$
$\text{h}=24\text{cm}$
$$Hence, the height of rectangular tank is 24cm.
