Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped if its width = 1.6dm, its length is 1.5 times

Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped if its width = 1.6dm, its length is 1.5 times its width and its height is 0.7dm less than its width.

1) Determine the length of the parallelepiped.

Since we know that it is 1.5 times the width, it will be:

1.6 * 1.5 = 2.4 dm.

2) Find the height.

Since it is 0.7 inches less than the width, its value will be:

1.6 – 0.7 = 0.9 dm.

3) Find the volume of the rectangular parallelepiped.

We multiply its length, height and width among ourselves.

The result will be:

V = a * b * h = 2.4 * 1.6 * 0.9 = 3.456 dm3

Answer: The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is 3.456 dm3
