Question

Before using a warehouse space to install a sculpture, Yasmeen needs to determine the space's volume to see if her large planned sculpture will fit. She measures the height of the space to be 4.1 meters, the width of the space to be 5.24 meters, and the length of the space to be 10.3 meters. What is the volume of the space? Make sure to use significant figures.

Answer 1

221.28 m^3

Explanation:

step one:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solids, this time it is a rectangular space(enclosure).

step two:

Given that the measurements of the space are

height h= 4.1 meters

width w= 5.24 meter

length l= 10.3 meters

step three:

The expression for the volume of the space is given as

Volume= lenght*width*height

Volume= 10.3*5.24*4.1

Volume= 221.285 m^3

Volume=221.28 m^3

The question did not specify to how many significant figures, I presume 2 is ok hence 221.28 m^3
