In a rectangular parallelepiped, the length is 25 m and 5 times the width.

In a rectangular parallelepiped, the length is 25 m and 5 times the width. The height of the parallelepiped is 1 m less than the width. Find its volume.

1. Let’s calculate the width of the parallelepiped if it is 5 times less than its length.
25: 5 = 5 m.
2. Determine the height of the parallelepiped if it is 1 m less than its width.
5 – 1 = 4 m.
3. Let’s calculate the volume of the parallelepiped by multiplying its length, width and height.
25 * 5 * 4 = 500 m3.
Answer: the volume of the parallelepiped is 500 m3.
