Diameter of the well = 4 m
radius of the well '{tex}r {/tex}' = 2 m

Depth of the well '{tex}H{/tex}' = 21,

Volume of earth {tex}= \pi r^ { 2 } h= \frac { 22 } { 7 } \times 2 \times 2 \times 21= 264 \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }{/tex}

Width of embankment = 3 m

Outer radius of ring '{tex}R{/tex}'= 2 + 3 = 5 m

Let the height of embankment be h

We know,  Volume of embankment = volume of earth dug out/volume of well

{tex}\pi ( R^ 2 - r ^ 2) h= 264{/tex}

{tex}\frac { 22 } { 7 } \times ( 25 - 4 ) \times h = 264{/tex}

{tex}h = \frac { 264 \times 7 } { 22 \times 21 } = 4{/tex}

Height of embankment = 4 m
