Question

A field is in the form of rectangle whose length is 18m & width is 13m. A pit of 7.5m long, 6m broad & 0.8m depth is dug in the corner of the field & the earth taken is spread over the remaining area of the field. FIND out the extent to which the level of the field has been raised.

Answer 1

Length of Rectangle = 18m

Breadth of rectangle = 13m

Pit length = 7.5m

Pit breadth = 6m

Pit height = 0.8m

Level raised raised= area of rectangle÷area of pit

$18 \times 13 \div 7.5 \div 6 \div 0.8$

=6.5 m
