2. The area of the shaded face is 24 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- John filled 38 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √16
= 4 m
Height of the container
= 24 ÷ 4
= 6 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
38 x Base area x Height
=
38 x 16 x 6
= 36 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 6 m; (b) 36 m
