Question

In cooking class, Shivani measures a stick

of butter. It is 13 centimeters long, 3
centimeters wide, and 3 centimeters tall. What
is the volume of the stick of butter?​

Answer 1

117 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

Assuming that the stick of butter is a perfect rectangular prism, we can calculate the volume by simply multiplying the length, width, and the height as modeled by the volume equation:

V = LWH

For this, the L = 13cm, W = 3cm, and H = 3cm

So our volume in cubic centimeters will be:

V = LWH

V = (13cm) * (3cm) * (3cm)

V = (13cm) * (9cm^2)

V = 117 cm^3

So the volume of the stick of butter is 117 cubic centimeters.

Cheers.

Answer 2

117 cm³

Explanation:

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we can simply multiply the length, width and height so the answer is 13 * 3 * 3 = 117 cm³.
