A field is in the form of a rectangle of length 18 m and width 15 m. A pit, 7.5 m long, 6 m broad and 0.8 m deep, is dug in a corner of the field and the earth taken out is spread over the remaining area of the field. Find out the extent to which the level of the field has been raised.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given,

Dimension of rectangular field = 18m ×15m

Dimension of pit = 7.5m×6m×0.8m

So, area on which earth taken out is to be spread = 18×15 – 7.5×6=225 m²

Let level of earth rises in field = h meter

So,

=225×h = 7.5×6×0.8

= h =
