During a shower, 5 cm of rain falls uniformly. What volume of water falls on 1.5 hectares of ground?

Problem Restatement

Convert rainfall depth over an area into a volume.

Given data

• Rainfall depth = 5 cm = 0.05 m
• Area = 1.5 hectares = 1.5 × 10,000 m^2 = 15,000 m^2

Concept / Formula

Volume = Depth × Area

Step-by-step calculation

V = 0.05 × 15,000 = 750 m^3

Alternative unit

= 750,000 litres (since 1 m^3 = 1000 L)

Final Answer

Volume of rainfall = 750 m^3.
