On question at a time as per chegg rules.........please follow the rules

Problem 007

As we know that 2.6 inch = 0.216667 feet

The volume of water which fell on the land is

V = 34 km2 * (3281 ft / Km )2*0.216667

V = 7.93e7 ft3

Therefore,

V = 7.93e7 / 43560

V = 1820.52 acre-feet

or

V = 1.82e3 acre-foot
