    Question

    A well with 20 m inside diameter is dug 10 m deep. Soil

    taken out of it has been evenly spread all around it to a width of 30 m to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment. 
    A 1/3 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3/4 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1/4 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2/3 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of the soil dug out = πr2h ⟹( (22)/(7) x 10 x 10 x 10) = 3,142.85m³. Area of embankment = Area of embankment with well - Area of well = ( x 40 x 40) - (  x 10 x 10 ) = 4,714 m²  Height of embankment = (Volume)/(Area)  = (3142.85)/(4714.3)  = (2)/(3)m.
