half-filled with water means that it has 1/2 of
the volume it had when it was full
------------
Volume when full:
+V+=+4%2A2%2A44.8+
+V+=+358.4+ m3
+V%2F2+=+179.2+ m3
--------------------
1000 liter = 1 m3
+4000%2A%28+1%2F1000+%29+=+4+ m3
+179.2+%2B+4+=+183.2+
---------------------
Let +h+ = height of water in tank
+4%2A2%2Ah+=+183.2+
+h+=+183.2%2F8+
+h+=+22.9+
The depth is 22.9 m
