These tasks: V (volume of concrete used for the construction of the dam) = 820000 m3; L (length of the constructed dam) = 760 m; h (dam height) = 60 m.
We express the thickness of the constructed dam from the formula: V = L * B * h, whence B = V / (L * h).
Calculation: B = 820000 / (760 * 60) ≈ 18 m.
Answer: The constructed dam is 18 meters thick.
