Volume = 105in³

Mass = 871.5g

To find the volume of the metal we can find the area of a base, and multiply it by the prism's width.

The base is 30cm in area, and the width is 3.5cm, which makes the volume 105in³

The mass of the doorstop can be found by just multiplying the grams per cubic centimeter by the volume, which would be 871.5g
