Answer:
Depth of the milk = 4 cm
Explanation:
In the figure attached,
Milk carton is in the shape of a cuboid having length = 8 cm, Width = 5 cm and Height = 15 cm
Depth of the milk in the carton = 12 cm
Milk inside the carton will have the same shape of cuboid, having same length and width but a different height.
Volume of the milk = volume of the cuboid shape of the milk
= Length × width × height
= 8 × 5 × 12
= 480 cm³
Now the carton is turned with its base on the shaded region.
By changing the base, dimensions of the milk inside the carton will change but the volume of the milk will remain the same.
New dimensions of the milk inside the carton will be,
Length = 15 cm
Width = 8 cm
Height = d cm (unknown side)
By using the formula of volume again,
V = l × b × h
480 = 15 × 8 × d
480 = 120d
d =
d = 4 cm
Therefore, depth of the milk in the carton will be 4 cm.
