The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 100 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 110 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Ian filled 25 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √100
= 10 m
Height of the container
= 110 ÷ 10
= 11 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
25 x Base area x Height
=
25 x 100 x 11
= 440 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 11 m; (b) 440 m
