Answer: The volume of the cuboid is: " 11 ,200 cm³ " .

_________________________________________________

Explanation:

____________________________________________________

The formula for the volume of a "cuboid" ;

which is given in: "cubic units" ; or, "units³ " ; is:

____________________________________________________

→ Volume, "V" = length (L) * width (w) * (height) ;

____________________________________________________

→ The 3 (three given values are "4m" , "4 cm" and "7cm" .

We need the units of measurement to be equal; so we need to convert the " 4m " to "cm" :

Note that: " 1 m = 100 cm " ; {exact conversion} ;

So: 4m ( 100 cm / 1 m) = (4 * 100) cm = 400 cm.

_____________________________________________________

Now, we can plug these values and solve for the volume; in units of "cm³ " ;

_____________________________________________________

V = 400 cm * 4 cm * 7 cm ;

= 400 * 4 * 7 * cm * cm * cm ;

= 400 * 4 * 7 cm³ ;

= 1600 * 7 cm³ ;

= 11, 200 cm³

_____________________________________________________

The answer is: " 11 ,200 cm³ " .
