The figure shows a container ³₄ filled with water. The container is made up of two cuboids. The top cuboid has a square base of length 24 cm and height of 22 cm. The bottom cuboid has a square base of length 12 cm and height 8 cm. Find the height of the water level from the base of the container.
Volume of the top cuboid
= 24 x 24 x 22
= 12672 cm³ 

Volume of the bottom cuboid
= 12 x 12 x 8
= 1152 cm³ 

Total volume
= 12672 + 1152
= 13824 cm³ 

1 container = 13824 cm^3 
3₄ container = 13824 x ³₄ = 10368 cm³ 

Volume of water in the top cuboid
= 10368 - 1152
= 9216 cm³ 

Base Area of the top cuboid
= 24 x 24
= 576 cm² 

Height of water in the top cuboid
= 9216 ÷ 576
= 16 cm

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

Answer(s): 24 cm
