The density of copper is 8.94 g/cm^3. What is the mass of a rectangular sheet of copper: 10 cm wide, 45 cm long, and 0.2 cm thick? I have no idea how to solve for mass or where to start. :(

Answer:

Mass = 804.6 g

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimension of the rectangular copper = 10 cm wide, 45 cm long, and 0.2 cm thick

The volume of the rectangular copper = 0.1m x 0.45m x 0.002m

The volume of the rectangular copper = 0.00009 m³

The density of copper = 8.94 g/cm³ = 8.94 x 1000 kg/m³

The density of copper = 8940 kg/m³

Mass = Density x Volume

Mass = 8940 x 0.00009

Mass = 0.8046 kg

Mass = 804.6 g
