GPT 3.5
To find the depth of the oil in the container, we first need to calculate the volume of oil poured into the container.
Given:
Volume of oil = 2 1/2 litres = 2.5 litres = 2500 cm^3
Side of the square container = 12.5 cm
Volume of a square prism = Area of base x Height
Area of a square = side x side = 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm = 156.25 cm^2
Let the height or depth of the oil be x cm.
Volume of oil = Area of base x Height
2500 = 156.25 x
x = 2500 / 156.25
x = 16 cm
Therefore, the depth of the oil in the container is 16 cm.
