If 5 mm of rain falls in a 100 m2 field, what volume of rain, in m3, fell in the field?

The volume of rain that fells in the field is simply given by the area of the field, which is


A=100 mm^2

multiplied by the height of rain that fell, which is


h=5.0 mm

Therefore, the volume is


V=hA=(5 mm)(100 mm^2)=500 mm^3
