Question

A cabinet was ordered from a carpenter with a volume of 1.08 m³. He wrote down the following measurements: 1.2 m wide and 1.8 m high, but forgot to write down the depth. Therefore, the depth measurement is

Answer 1

The depth of this cabinet is equal to 0.5 m³.

Volume

Volume is a three-dimensional measure that indicates the space occupied by an object. It is a physical quantity that expresses the amount of space an object occupies in three dimensions - length, width and height.

Note that this cabinet has the shape of a parallelepiped, and its volume is found by multiplying its dimensions. Calculating the depth measurement, we have:

1,08 m³ = 1,2 m * 1,8 m * p

p = 1,08 m³/(1,2 m * 1,8 m)

p = 1,08 m³ / 2,16 m³

p = 0,5 m
