The volume of your vessel is L x W x h (length x width x height):
20 x 15 x h = 48
300 x h = 48
since we have centimeters on one side and meters in the other, let's convert the centimeters to meters
3 x h = 48
h = 48/3 = 16 meters (this is a tall and skinny tube!)
The area in contact with the water:
20 x 15 . . . = 300
2(20 x 1600) = 64000
2(15 x 1600) = 48000
Total . . . .---------------
. . . . . . . = 112,300 square cm or 1123 square meters

.001 liters = 1 cubic centimeters
48 liters = 48,000 cc
Height = 160 cm
Surface area in contact with water: Area of base, or length * width
+ Area of front & rear, or 2(length * height)
+ Area of left and right sides, or 2(width * height).
The answer MUST be in sq cm.
