The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 121 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 132 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Pierre filled 13 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √121
= 11 m
Height of the container
= 132 ÷ 11
= 12 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
13 x Base area x Height
=
13 x 121 x 12
= 484 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 12 m; (b) 484 m
