Surface Area of a circle – Orange activity

We know the surface area which is 9.94km2 and the average depth is 119m2. You want to start of with conversions. We can make everything in meters.  9.94km      x       1000m        =     9940m 1m                    9.94km  9940 m         x     1000 L          =     9940 000 L 1L                        1m 9940 000 L x 119 m = 1 182 860 000 L   The volume will be 1 182 860 000 L 1 L of water =…
