Answer: The density of the copper is 9933.33 kg/miles³.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of rectangular prism = 5 miles

Width of rectangular prism = 0.9 miles

Height of rectangular prism = 0.02 miles

So, volume of rectangular prism = length × breadth × height

So, it becomes,


Volume=5* 0.9* 0.02\\\\Volume=0.09\ miles ^3

As we know the relation between "Mass and density":


Mass=Volume* Density\\\\Density=(Mass)/(Volume)\\\\Density=(894)/(0.09)\\\\Density=9933.33\ kg/miles^3

Hence, the density of the copper is 9933.33 kg/miles³.
