  1. Answer:

    The shape of the well will be cylindrical as shown in the figure below:

    Given:

    Depth (h) of well =20 m

    Radius (r) of circular end of well =

    2

    7

    m

    Area of platform = Length x Breadth =22×14m

    2

    Assume height of the platform =H

    The volume of soil dug from the well will be equal to the volume of soil scattered on the platform.

    Volume of soil from well = Volume of soil used to make such platform

    ⟹πr

    2

    h = Area of platform x Height of platform

    ⟹π×(

    2

    7

    )

    2

    ×20=22×14×H

    H=

    7

    22

    ×

    4

    49

    ×

    22×14

    20

    H=

    2

    5

    =2.5m

    Hence, the height of such a platform will be 2.5 m.

    solution
