In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
1 hectare = 10,000 m2
So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) m2 = 15000 m2.
| Depth = | 5 | m | = | 1 | m. |
| 100 | 20 |
 Volume = (Area x Depth) = |
 |
15000 x | 1 |  m3 |
= 750 m3. |
| 20 |

After the rain falls on the ground, its height is measured. That is how the rainfal is generally measured.
now, coming to the problem, here, the height is 5cm = 5/100m.
volume=lbh
but area=lb
volume=area*h
hence, volume= 15000*5/100 =750

The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares(area) of ground
Conversion
{
1 hectare = 10,000 m^2.
So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) m^2 = 15000 m^2. //converting into meters.
}
5 cm of rain falls -- Depth(height) of the water from ground level.
Depth(height) = 5 cm = 5/100 m
Finding Volume
Considering/assuming ground as cuboid.
Volume = (Length*Breadth)*Height.
= Area * Height.
= 15000*5/100.
= 750 m^3.

If the rain is falling vertically.
And the area covered is base then it's forming a right angle tri angle,
So we know v=length * breadth * height.
Also, that length*breadth = area.
So,
V = 15000 * 0.05,
So, v = 750.

How can I recognised that volume = area * depth and depth from where found please give me the answer if anybody know?
