2cm of rain has fallen on a sq km of land.
\n" ); document.write( "assuming that 50% of the rain has been collected and contained in a pool having a 100m by 10m base, by what level would the water level in the pool have
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Since only half was collected, assume the depth is 1 cm = .01 meter (10^-2)
\n" ); document.write( "Change 1 sq km = 10^6 sq meters
\n" ); document.write( "Find the vol of water:
\n" ); document.write( "10^6 * 10^-2 = 10^4 cu/meters of water
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the pool:
\n" ); document.write( " 100 * 10 = 1000 or 10^3 sq meters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the Height of the water in the pool
\n" ); document.write( " \"10%5E4%2F10%5E3\" = 10 meters
\n" ); document.write( "A 10 meter increase in the depth of the water in the pool
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
