can we find the depth of a pond given only its surface area?

Answer 1

yes, assuming you have the volume too V = A * d

Answer 2

Not with any accuracy. You can guess based on the surrounding topography and angle of the shoreline. If you know the depth of nearby ponds that is also helpful. But a pond in the middle of a field may only be 6 feet deep, but have the same surface area as a pond the is at the bottom of a ravine that is much deeper.

Answer 3

We can not find depth of pond if only surface area is given. For calculating the depth of pond in addition to surface area capacity of pond should also be mentioned.

Answer 4

If given "only its surface area", then no. A pond that is 50' in diameter can be 1' deep or 100' deep. You would need diameter and volume to get depth.

Answer 5

Yes if its a circular pond and the radius is also given.

The surface area is given by

surface area= base area + surface area of sides

=pi x r x r + 2pi x r x depth

Answer 6

any surface area or any volume could translate to any depth. The issue is that you dont know its shape, So its something like finding the integral of some function f(x) where x is between 2 numbers, but f(x) can be absolutely anything. You could make the depth any arbitrary about by taking suitible f(x).

Answer 7

area of a pond wud be (assuming it's a round pond)..pi*r^2 +2*pi*r*Depth...... so you need to know the either the radius or diameter to get the depth...

Answer 8

Yes you can if the volume is given. Otherwise, I dont think so.

Answer 9

If that's the only thing you know, then no.

Answer 10

yeah if you had the radius or diameter
