Container U, measuring 55 cm by 30 cm by 53 cm, was filled with water to the brim. Water was then poured from Container U to Container V, which has a base area of 775 cm² until the height of the water level in Container V became thrice that of the water level in Container U. Find the volume of water in Container V, leaving your answer in cubic cm.
Volume of Container U
= 55 x 30 x 53
= 87450 cm³ 

Base area of Container U 
= 55 x 30
= 1650 cm²

Total base areas
= 1650 + 775 + 775 + 775
= 3975 cm² 

Height of the water level in Container U after pouring
= 87450 ÷ 3975
= 22 cm

Height of the water level in Container V after pouring
= 3 x 22 
= 66 cm

Volume of water in Container V
= 775 x 66
= 51150 cm³ 

Answer(s): 51150 cm³
