Question 254457: A box shaped container has a 2m by 3m rectangular base. It is partially filled with water to a height of 0.5m. If 60L of water are added to the container, how much will the water rise?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We can find the current volume as
V = LxWxH or
V = 2x3x.5 = 3 m^3.
I think that 1 m^3 = 1 L.
So, 60m^3 = 60 L
It appears that we will increase our capacity by 60m^3.
