2.
- What is the height of the container?
- David filled 38 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √64
= 8 m
Height of the container
= 72 ÷ 8
= 9 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
38 x Base area x Height
=
38 x 64 x 9
= 216 m
