The figure shows a container ²₅ filled with water. The container is made up of two cuboids. The top cuboid has a square base of length 22 cm and height of 26 cm. The bottom cuboid has a square base of length 11 cm and height 16 cm. Find the height of the water level from the base of the container.
Volume of the top cuboid
= 22 x 22 x 26
= 12584 cm³ 

Volume of the bottom cuboid
= 11 x 11 x 16
= 1936 cm³ 

Total volume
= 12584 + 1936
= 14520 cm³ 

1 container = 14520 cm^3 
2₅ container = 14520 x ²₅ = 5808 cm³ 

Volume of water in the top cuboid
= 5808 - 1936
= 3872 cm³ 

Base Area of the top cuboid
= 22 x 22
= 484 cm² 

Height of water in the top cuboid
= 3872 ÷ 484
= 8 cm

Height of water from base
= 8 + 16
= 24 cm

Answer(s): 24 cm
