Question

Convert the 2. 2 centimeters of runoff results from a storm on a drainage area of 250 kn depth of runoff (2 cm) to the volume (cubic meters). (2 marks)

Answer 1

`volume  =  5* 10^6 m^3`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Height is given as 2.2 centimeters

Area is given as 250 km^2

we know that volume is given as

`volume  = area * height`

from the above we have

height
`2.2 cm = 2.2* 10^(-2) m`

`area = 250 km^2 = 250* 10^6 m^2`

so volume is

`volume  = 250 * 10^6 * 2.2* 10^(-2)`

`volume  =  5* 10^6 m^3`
