Question

the length of a block of wood is twice its width.The width of the block is 9 inches in height is 5 inches what is the total volume of the block of wood

Answer 1

2430 in³

1) Gathering the data

l= 2w

width: 9"

and height:15

2) Considering the volume of this block is given by:

`\begin{gathered} V=a\cdot b\cdot c \\ V=9\cdot15\cdot18 \\ V=2430in^3 \end{gathered}`

Where a=width, b=length, and c= height. And assuming the shape of this block.

3) Hence, the volume is 2430 in³
