Answer:
The height of the platform will be 2.5m
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First, the volume of the Earth dug out is calculated.
=> V = (8)(5)(3)
=> V = 120 m^2
2. Now, equate the calculated volume to het the height.
=> 120 = (12)(4)(h)
=> 120/12 = 4h
=> 4h = 10
=> h = 10/4
=> h = 2.5m
Thus the height of the platform will be 2.5m
