Question

Address the following question: In a different city, if the landfill volume required per year is 300,000 m3, and the average fill depth is 15 m, what is the required landfill area (m2) per year

Answer 1

A=20,000 m2 per year

Explanation:

we have that Volume (V) =300,000 m3, so V=A*h, where A=area (m2) and h=15m

V=A*h ⇒ 300,000m3=A*15m ⇒ A=300,000m3/15m ⇒ A=20,000 m2
