Q13 of 94 Page 222

The rainfall recorded on a certain day was 5 cm. Find the volume of water that fell on a 2-hectare field.

It is given that,

Rain recorded in a certain day = 5 cm = 0.05 m


Area of the field = 2 hectare


= 2 × 10000 m2


= 20000m2


Therefore,


Total rain over the field = Area of the field × Height of the field


= 0.05 × 20000


= 1000 m3
