Mark found a pond which is shaped exactly like an elliptic paraboloid and filled to the edge with water. He gets a little interested and measures the depth of the pond as well as its diameter. He finds out that the depth is and the diameter is . He also finds out that water evaporates at a rate of per and per day. After a month (31 days) he comes back to the pond and notices, that the water level significantly dropped.
Assuming the evaporation rate didn't change and it didn't rain during that month, what is the remaining height of the water in meters?

Note that 3 0 m 2 × day l = 0 . 0 3 m 2 × day m 3 = 0 . 0 3 day m
Therefore the height, in meters, after 31 days is 3 − 0 . 0 3 ⋅ 3 1 = 2 . 0 7
