The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 100 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 120 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Oscar filled 38 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
= 120 ÷ 10
= 12 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
38 x Base area x Height
=
38 x 100 x 12
= 450 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 12 m; (b) 450 m
