Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped if the base area is 43.5 dm2 and the height is 5.2 cm.

Answer: the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is 22620 cm³.

1. Let’s convert square decimeters to square centimeters.

One decimeter contains 10 cm.Square decimeter is a square with a side of 10 cm and thus its area will be equal to:

10 * 10 = 100 cm².

Thus, the area of the base of our parallelepiped is:

43.5 * 100 = 4350 cm².

2. The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is calculated as the product of its base area and height:

4350 * 5.2 = 22620 cm³.
