1. **State the problem:** We need to find the depth of a cuboid-shaped basin that holds 158.175 litres of water. The basin's length is 95 cm and width is 45 cm.
2. **Formula used:** The volume $V$ of a cuboid is given by:
$$V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{depth}$$
3. **Convert litres to cubic centimeters:** Since 1 litre = 1000 cm³,
$$158.175 \text{ litres} = 158.175 \times 1000 = 158175 \text{ cm}^3$$
4. **Set up the equation:**
$$158175 = 95 \times 45 \times \text{depth}$$
5. **Calculate the product of length and width:**
$$95 \times 45 = 4275$$
6. **Solve for depth:**
$$\text{depth} = \frac{158175}{4275} = 37$$
7. **Answer:** The depth of the basin is **37 cm**.
This means the basin is 37 cm deep to hold 158.175 litres of water.
