The rainwater

The rainwater container has the shape of a block whose bottom has dimensions of 4.5 m and 3.5 m. It is partially filled with water. What is the level if there is 189 hl of water in it?

Final Answer:

h =  1.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=4.5\text{m} \\ b=3.5\text{m} \\ V=189\text{hl}\to {\text{m}}^3=189:10{\text{m}}^3=18.9{\text{m}}^3 \\ S=a\cdot b=4.5\cdot 3.5=\frac{63}{4}=15.75{\text{m}}^2 \\ h=V/S=18.9/15.75=1.2\text{m} \end{gathered}$$
