Question 956887: A container with a square base of area of 16m and height of 9m was filled with sand .some of the sand was then transferred to a cube shaped container of side4m.find the height in m of the remaining sand in the big container Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You start with of sand in the container.
You mention that some of it was transferred.
I assume that it completely fills the 4m side cube.
