Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
volume of rectangular container = L x B x H
1 litre = 1000cm3
96 litres = \(\frac{1000cm^3}{1 litres}\) x 96 litres
volume = 96000cm3
96000 = 220 x 40 x 11
96--- = 8800H
H = \(\frac{96000}{8800}\)
= 10.97cm
= 11cm
volume of rectangular container = L x B x H
1 litre = 1000cm3
96 litres = \(\frac{1000cm^3}{1 litres}\) x 96 litres
volume = 96000cm3
96000 = 220 x 40 x 11
96--- = 8800H
H = \(\frac{96000}{8800}\)
= 10.97cm
= 11cm
