The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 100 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 130 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Pierre filled 25 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
= 130 ÷ 10
= 13 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
25 x Base area x Height
=
25 x 100 x 13
= 520 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 13 m; (b) 520 m
