Question

A plot is 20 m long and 15 m wide Digging the the land 10m breadth 6m breadth 6m and depth 5m from outside of the plot is spread over the plot Find the height of the mud spread over i n the plot

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get the volume of the soil dug in order to spread it on the plot.

Volume of the soil is equivalent to the volume of the pit dug.

Volume of the pit = length × Width × height

Volume of the pit = 15 × 6 × 5 = 450 m³

This is equivalent to the volume of soil spread over the field.

Now we have :

Volume = 450 m³

Base area = area of the field = 20 × 15 = 300 m²

Volume = base area × height

Height of the soil = volume of the soil/area of the field

= 450/300 = 1.5 meters

The mud is at a height of 1.5 meters.
