Algebra.Com's Answer #708350 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of your vessel is L x W x h (length x width x height): \n" ); document.write( "20 x 15 x h = 48 \n" ); document.write( "300 x h = 48 \n" ); document.write( "since we have centimeters on one side and meters in the other, let's convert the centimeters to meters \n" ); document.write( "3 x h = 48 \n" ); document.write( "h = 48/3 = 16 meters (this is a tall and skinny tube!) \n" ); document.write( "The area in contact with the water: \n" ); document.write( "20 x 15 . . . = 300 \n" ); document.write( "2(20 x 1600) = 64000 \n" ); document.write( "2(15 x 1600) = 48000 \n" ); document.write( "Total . . . .--------------- \n" ); document.write( ". . . . . . . = 112,300 square cm or 1123 square meters \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
