the question doesn't make sense to me, 30 cubic meters is a volume, when it should be talking about surface area.

a couple of questions... and you sure the question says .." a water tank has a base of 30 cubic metres".... 

makes more sense if its 30 metres square... 


then if it is a prism or cylinder the volume is 

V = base area x height

so it could be 

V = 30 x 5.5
