The volume of a cistern is 840 cubic meters and water is flowing into the cistern.
The volume of a cistern is 840 cubic meters and water is flowing into the cistern. If the surface level of the water is rising at the rate of 0.5 meters per minute, what is the rate, in cubic meters per minutes, at which the water is flowing into the cistern?
Answer/Solution
Not enough information to determine the rate
Steps/Work
There are not enough info to answer the question.
A 840 cubic meters rectangle is built from: height*length*width.
From the question we know the volume of the pool and the filling rate.
A pool can have a a height of 10*width8.4*length10 and have a volume of 840 cubic meters, and it can have a height of 1 meter, width of 100 meters and length of 8.4. In both cases the pool will fill up in a different rate.
The correct answer is E.
