Question

Two liters of water are poured into an empty vase shaped like an octagonal prism. The base area is 100 square centimeters. What is the height of the water? (1 L = 1000 cm3)

Answer 1

Answer: Height of the water is 20 cm.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Base area = 100 square cm

volume of vase shaped like an octogonal prism = 2 liters

We need to find the height of water.

and 1 liter = 1000 cm³

2 liters = 2×1000 cm³

As we know the formula for "Volume":

`Volume=\text{Base Area}* height\\\\2* 1000=100* height\\\\height=(2000)/(100)\\\\height=20\ cm`

Hence, height of the water is 20 cm.
