Answer:
a.) depth of the lake = (volume of the lake) / area of lake
= 173,693,585,360,000 / 624,305,840,400 = 278.22 feet
b.) 11 inches = 0.9167 feet
Water gained in cubic feet gained by the lake
= 624,305,840,400 0.9167
= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet
c.) the percentage change in the lake volume over that year
= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet / 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet
= 0.0033
= 0.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
i) acres to square feet : 1 acre = 43560 square feet
therefore 14,332,090 acres = 624,305,840,400 square feet
ii) 1 mile = 5280 feet
1 cubic mile = 5280 5280
5280 = 147,197,952,000 cubic feet
therefore 1180 cubic miles = 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet
a.) depth of the lake = (volume of the lake) / area of lake
= 173,693,585,360,000 / 624,305,840,400 = 278.22 feet
b.) 11 inches = 0.9167 feet
Water gained in cubic feet gained by the lake
= 624,305,840,400 0.9167 = 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet
c.) the percentage change in the lake volume over that year
= 572,282,434,719.5 cubic feet / 173,693,585,360,000 cubic feet
= 0.0033
= 0.33%
