Two identical rectangular tanks, each with internal dimensions 30 cm by 20 cm by 40 cm, are placed side by side. Tank A is filled with water to a depth of 32 cm. Tank B is empty. Water is poured from Tank A into Tank B until both tanks have water at the SAME depth. Find the new depth of water in each tank.

Worked Solution
Step 1: Both tanks have identical cross-section (30 × 20 = 600 cm²).
Step 2: Total water volume = 600 × 32 = 19 200 cm³.
Step 3: After splitting equally, each tank has 19 200 ÷ 2 = 9 600 cm³.
Step 4: Depth in each = 9 600 ÷ 600 = 16 cm.
Answer: 16 cm
Correct answer: 16 cm
