Container F and G are identical containers with the same base area and height. Container F is filled to the brim with water while Container G is empty. After 225 cm³ of water from Container F is poured into Container G, the depth of water in Container G is ¹₄ the depth of water in Container F. If the height of Container G is 45 cm, what is the base area of Container G?
The depth of water is proportional to the volume of water.

After water from Container F is poured into Container G:

Volume of water in Container F : Volume of water in Container G
 4 : 1

1 u = 225

Total volume of Container G
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 225
= 1125 cm³

Base area of Container G
= 1125 ÷ 45
= 25 cm²

Answer(s): 25 cm²
