The volume of a container in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped is 40.575 m3

The volume of a container in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped is 40.575 m3, find the height of the container if the bottom area is 54.1 m2.

The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped (V) is equal to the product of the length and width of its base and height.

Since the product of the length and width of the base is its area (Sbase), it can be argued that the volume of a parallelepiped is equal to the product of the area of its base and height (h).

Knowing the volume of the parallelepiped and the area of its base, you can calculate the height:

h = V: Sb.

Let us find the height of the tank if it is known that its volume is V = 40.575 m ^ 3, and the bottom area is Sb. = 54.1 m ^ 2:

h = 40.575: 54.1 = 0.75 m.

Answer: 0.75 m.
