Question

Calculate the volume of a box, in cubic centimeters, which is 423 cm long, 12 cm wide, and 25 cm high. Report your answer with correct significant figures in cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

130,000 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

The volume of a box is its length multiplied by its width multiplied by its height (lwh). 423 times 12 times 25 is 126,900. When multiplying, the number of significant figures is the same as the number with the least number of significant figures. The correct number of significant figures in this example is 2, so 126,900 would need to round up to 130,000 in order to have 2 significant figures.

Answer 2

The volume of an object is given by length * width * height

In order to obtain the volume of a box, in cubic centimeters, we need to note the following parameters;

length = 423 cm

width = 12 cm

height = 25 cm

Volume =  length * width * height

Volume = 423 cm * 12 cm * 25 cm

Volume = 127000 cubic centimeters.
