Think of volume as area x length (in this case depth)
Imagine that you are holding a circular plate with area 24 cm2 and moving it in a straight line (depth) that will trace your bucket (volume)
so the area in this case is 24 cm2 and Volume of water is 10 L (1 L = 1000 cm3 )
So,24 (area) x Depth = 10000 (volume)
Depth = 10000/24
Depth = 416.67 cm
