Question

The volume of a rectangular solid (a box) can be found using the formula V =l.w.h where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. You measure a room to be 3.7 meters wide, 4.7 meters long, with ceilings 3.25 meters tall. What is the volume of the room? 3 m Give your answer as an exact decimal value.

Answer 1

Answer:

56.5175 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The volume of the rectangular solid can be found using the formula:

$V=l\times w\times h$

We are given that:

• Length of the room, l = 4.7 meters

,

• Width of the room, w = 3.7 meters

,

• Height of the room, h = 3.25 meters

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Volume,V}=4.7\times3.7\times3.25 \\ =56.5175m^3 \end{gathered}$

The volume of the room is 56.5175 cubic meters.
