Question

If a box has a length of 10.0 cm, a width of 20.0 cm, and a height of 5.00 cm, then what is its volume in m3 ? Responses 1.00×10−3 1.00 times 10 to the power of negative 3 5.00×102 5.00 times 10 squared 1.00×104 1.00 times 10 to the power of 4 1.00×10−4

Answer 1

To find the volume of the box, we need to multiply its length, width, and height together.

Volume = Length x Width x Height

Given:

Length = 10.0 cm

Width = 20.0 cm

Height = 5.00 cm

Converting the measurements to meters:

1 meter = 100 centimeters

Length = 10.0 cm = 10.0 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.10 m

Width = 20.0 cm = 20.0 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.20 m

Height = 5.00 cm = 5.00 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.05 m

Now, we can calculate the volume:

Volume = 0.10 m x 0.20 m x 0.05 m

Volume = 0.001 m^3

So, the volume of the box is 0.001 m^3, which can be expressed as 1.00 x 10^-3 m^3.
