Given data,
Length of the field, l = 35 m,
Width of the field, b = 22 m,
Depth of the well, H = 8 m
Radius of the well, R = 14/2 = 7 m,
the rise in the level of the field be h
Area of the rectangle = Length x Breadth
= 35 x 22
= 770 m²
Area of the well = πR²
= π(7)²
= 154 m²
Area of the rectangle without well = Area of the rectangle – Area of the well
= 770 – 154
= 616 m²
∴ Amount of the dug = πR²H
= π(7)²(8)
= 1232 m³
Raise in height = Volume ÷ area
= 1232 ÷ 616
= 2 m
∴ 2 m height raise
