I have a rectangular container 22cm long, 18 cm wide and 14 cm high. My container has water 9cm deep. How much more water can I pour into my conainer before it overflows?

Solution

Volume of rectangular container : Length x width x height = 22 x 18 x14 = 5,544 cm³

Volume of water present in container = Lenght of container x width of container x ( deep ) height = 22 x 18 x 9

= 3654 cm³

Remaining water that can be filled more before it overflows = total volume of container - volume of water initially

= 5544 - 3654

= 1980 cm³

Answer: 1980 cm³ more water you can pour into my conainer before it overflows
