Question

A house is 54.0 ft long and 48 ft wide, and has 8.0-ft-high ceilings. What is the volume of the interior of the house in cubic meters and cubic centimeters? Answers needs to be in appropriate significant figures.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of house, l = 54 ft = 16.45 m

Breadth of house, b = 48 ft = 14.63 m

Height of house, h = 8 ft = 2.43 m

We need to find the volume of the interior of the house. The house is in the form of cuboid. The volume of cuboid is given by :

`V=l* b* h`

`V=16.45\ m* 14.63\ m* 2.43\ m`

`V=584.81\ m^3`

Since,
`1\ m^3=1000000\ cm^3`

or the volume of the interior of the house,
`V=5.84* 10^8\ cm^3`

Hence, this is the required solution.
