Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped if its length is 30 meters and width is 10 meters.

First, let’s add the necessary data to the task that is missing in the condition:

The height of the parallelepiped is 2 meters. What is the area of the base of a parallelepiped?

First, let’s find out what the volume of the parallelepiped is:

V = a * b * h, where a – length, b – width, h – height.

V = 30 * 10 * 2 = 300 * 2 = 600 m3.

Now let’s determine what the area of the base of the parallelepiped is, if all sides are known:

S = a * b, where a is the length, b is the width.

S = 30 * 10 = 300 m2.

Answer: the volume is 600 m3, and the base area of the figure is 300 m2.
