The bottom of the well has the shape of a square with a side of 1m 2dm. The water depth in the well is 2 m 5 dm.

The bottom of the well has the shape of a square with a side of 1m 2dm. The water depth in the well is 2 m 5 dm. How many buckets of water are in the well? The bucket holds 12 liters and has a bottom area of 30 cm.

The volume of the cylinder can be found by the formula: V = π * R ^ 2 * h where, V is the volume, R is the radius of the base, h is the height.

Then the volume of water is:

π * (1.2) ^ 2 * 2.5 = 11.31 m ^ 3 = 11310 liters.

Then the number of buckets is:

11310: 12 = 942.5 buckets.

The area of the bottom of the bucket is an extra condition in the task.
