Answer: height = 17.5cm
Step-by-step explanation: Peter mixes blue and yellow paint in the ratio 2:3, which means:
[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8.4}{x}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{8.4*3}{2}[/tex]
x = 12.6L
The container is full with the two paints, so total volume:
V = 12.6 + 8.4
V = 21L
Knowing that 1L = 1dm³ and sides of cuboid is measure in cm:
V = 21dm³ = 21000cm³
Volume of a cuboid is calculated as:
V = width*length*height
Height of the container is
height = [tex]\frac{V}{width*length}[/tex]
height = [tex]\frac{21000}{30*40}[/tex]
height = 17.5cm
The height of the container is 17.5cm.
