Question

In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:

a. 75 cu. M

b. 750 cu. M

c. 7500 cu. M

d. 75000 cu. M

Answer 1

Convert cm to m:

5 cm = 0.05 m

Convert hectare to m²:

1 hectare = 10,000 m²

1.5 hectare = 10000 x 1.5 = 15,000 m²

Find Volume:

Volume = Area x Height

Volume = 15000 x 0.05

Volume = 750 m³

Answer: (b) 750 m³
