The figure shows a rectangular container with a square base of area 25 m
2. The area of the shaded face is 40 m
2.
- What is the height of the container?
- Riordan filled 25 of the container with water. Find the volume of the water.
(a)
Length of the base of the container
= √25
= 5 m
Height of the container
= 40 ÷ 5
= 8 m
(b)
Volume of water = Base area x Height
Volume of water
=
25 x Base area x Height
=
25 x 25 x 8
= 80 m
3 Answer(s): (a) 8 m; (b) 80 m
