Question

A rectangular solid has dimensions of 27 millimeters x 6.8 centimeters x 0.00025 kilometers. The volume of the solid in cubic meters is ____ cubic centimeters.

a. 0.0459
b. 0.345
c. 33.8
d. 459

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular solid, multiply the length, width, and height together. Convert the given dimensions to the same unit before calculating the volume. The volume of the solid is 4.365 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular solid, we multiply the length, width, and height together. We need to convert the given dimensions to the same unit before calculating the volume.

Converting millimeters to centimeters and kilometers to meters, the dimensions become:

• 27 millimeters = 2.7 centimeters
• 0.00025 kilometers = 0.25 meters

Now we can calculate the volume by multiplying:

Volume = Length x Width x Height
Volume = 2.7 cm x 6.8 cm x 0.25 m

Since 1 cm is equal to 1 mL, the volume will be in cubic centimeters (cm³). Thus, the volume of the solid is 4.365 cm³.
