Question

7

A Geometry textbook has a mass of 50 grams. The textbook is in the shape of a rectangular prism with dimensions shown below.
5 cm
16 cm
10 cm
Find the density of the textbook. Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: 0.0625 g/cm^3

Formula for density: d= mass/volume

we have mass m=50g

volume of rectangular prism = length x height x width

volume of book = 5cm x 16cm x 10cm = 800cm^3

density = mass / volume

density = 50g/800cm^3

density = 0.0625 g/cm^3
