The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 49 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 70 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Nick filled 37 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √49
= 7 m
Height of the container
= 70 ÷ 7
= 10 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
37 x Base area x Height
=
37 x 49 x 10
= 210 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 10 m; (b) 210 m
