Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped if its length is 5 m, width is 4 dm, and height is 7 dm.

A rectangular parallelepiped is a parallelepiped with each face represented by a rectangle. Its volume is calculated by the formula:

V = a * b * c. Let us find its value for such a figure, provided that the length = 5 m, the width is 4 dm, and the height is 7 dm. Let’s translate into one unit of measurement, since 1 m = 10 dm, therefore 5 m = 50 dm.

V = 50 * 4 * 7 = 1400 dm³ or 1 m³ 400 dm³. Based on the fact that 1 m³ = 1000 dm³.
