Hi there!

Height of the well = 14 m
Diameter of the well = 3 m

So, Radius of the well = 3/2 m

Volume of the earth taken out of the well = πr²h
= 22/7 × (3/2)²*14

= 99 m³

Outer radius of the embankment = R = (3/2 + 4)m = 11/2 m

Area of embankment = Outer area - Inner area
⇒ πR² - πr²

= 22/7 × [(11/2)² - (3/2)²]

= 22/7 × [(121/4) - (9/4)]

= 22/7 × 112/4

= 88 m²

Height of the embankment = Volume/Area

= 99/88

Height of the embankment = 1. 125 m

[ Thank you! for asking the question. ]
Hope it helps!
