The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 144 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 156 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Sam filled 13 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √144
= 12 m
Height of the container
= 156 ÷ 12
= 13 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
13 x Base area x Height
=
13 x 144 x 13
= 624 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 13 m; (b) 624 m
