x=depth of water
\n" ); document.write( "(42000 liters water)(1 cu meter water/1000 liters water)=42 cu meters water
\n" ); document.write( "6km(1000 m/km)*3.5 m*x=42 cu m
\n" ); document.write( "(6000 m*3.5 m)x=42 cu m
\n" ); document.write( " $\"21000+m%5E2x=42m%5E3\"$ Divide each side by 21000 sq m
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=42+m%5E3%2F21000M%5E2\"$ =0.002 m=2 mm ANSWER The depth of water in the reservoir would be 2 mm. \n" ); document.write( "
