Question

A rectangular water reservoir contains 105 m 3 of water. Find the depth of the water in the reservoir if its base measures 12 m by 3.5 m.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given,

Capacity of water reservoir = 105 m³

Length of base of reservoir = 12 m

Width of base = 3.5 m

Let depth of reservoir = h m

So,

=

= 2.5 m

Depth of reservoir = 2.5 m
