Answer:

density of solid = 4.5 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

density = mass ÷ volume

• We know the mass of the object (135 g). We need to calculate the volume:

Volume = length × width × thickness

= 5 cm × 3 cm × 2 cm

= 30 cm³

• Now we can calculate the solid's density:

density = 135 g ÷ 30 cm³

= 4.5 g/cm³
