Calculate the volume of a parallelepiped if its base area is 150 cm2 and its height is 2dm.

First of all, it is necessary to note the formulas that are needed in order to calculate the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped:

V = a * b * c,

V = S main * h,

where V is the volume of the parallelepiped,

a, b, c – measurements of the parallelepiped (its length, width, height),

S main – the area of the base of the parallelepiped,

h is the height of the parallelepiped.

Since by condition S main and h are given, here we need the second formula.

V = S main * h = 150 cm 2 * 2 dm = 150 cm 2 * 20 cm = 3000 (cm 3).

Answer: 3000 cm 3.
