Answer:

The volume of water and air inside each of the plastic ice cubes is 3000mm³

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, rectangular pyramid.

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is expressed as

V=(l*w*h)/3

Given data

Length l = 20mm

Width w= 15mm

Height h= 30mm

Substituting our given data we have

V= 20*15*30/3

V= 9000/3

V= 3000mm³
