Calculate the volume of a rectangle of a parallelepiped if its edges are 18 cm 16 cm 5 cm.

Given:
The first edge a of a rectangular parallelepiped is 18 centimeters.
The length of the second edge b of the parallelepiped is 16 centimeters.
Third side c is 5 centimeters long.

Find the area of the base of the parallelepiped using the formula S = a * b:
S = a * b = 18 * 16 = 288 cm2.
Let’s calculate the volume of the figure by the formula V = S * c:
V = S * c = 288 * 5 = 1440 cm3.
Answer: V = 1440 cm3.
