Question

A large concrete block is used for the cornerstone

of a building. The block is 19 ft deep, 19 ft wide,
and 14 ft long. What volume of concrete is
needed to make this block?

Answer 1

The volume of the concrete needed to make the block is 5054 ft³

Explanation:

The question relate to the calculation of the volume of a shape

The dimensions of the block are;

The depth of the block, d = 19 ft.

The width of the block, w = 19 ft.

The length of the block, l = 14 ft.

The volume of a cube, V = Length, l × Width, w × Depth, d

Therefore, the volume, 'V' of a cubic block is given as follows;

V = l × w × d = 14 ft. × 19 ft. × 19 ft. = 5054 ft.³

The volume of the concrete needed to make the block = The volume of the block, V = 5054 ft³.
