A plane and a line not in that plane which are parallel to the same line, are parallel to each other. Always, sometimes, or never

a line and a plan are considered parallel if they have no points in common if two parallel planes are cut by a third plane then the lines of intersection are parallel

Volume of the lake = 6.44 × 10¹¹ Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us unify the units of measurement in the problem by converting the depth from feet to miles

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 foot = 1/5280 miles

∴ 51.0 Feet = 51.0 × (1/5280) miles

= 0.009659 miles

Next, let us calculate the volume of the lake.

Volume = surface area × depth

surface area = 16.0 (mi)²

depth = 0.009659 mi

volume = 16.0 × 0.009659 = 0.15454 (mi)³

Next, since we are asked to report the volume in litres, let us convert from cubic miles to litres

1 cubic mile = 4.168 × 10¹² litres

∴ 0.15454 cubic miles = 4.168 × 10¹² × 0.15454

= 6.44 × 10¹¹ Litres

∴ Volume of the lake = 6.44 × 10¹¹ Litres
