To find the height of the cuboid vessel, we need to calculate the volume of water it can hold.
The formula for the volume of a cuboid is given by:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Given:
Length = 20 cm
Width = 12 cm
We need to find the height (h) that can hold 3 liters of water. We know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cc). So, 3 liters would be equal to 3000 cc.
Let's substitute the given values into the formula and solve for h:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
3000 = 20 × 12 × h
Simplifying the equation further:
3000 = 240h
Dividing both sides by 240:
h = 3000/240
h = 12.5 cm
Therefore, the height of the cuboid vessel must be 12.5 cm to hold 3 liters of water.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 12.5 cm.
