One edge of a rectangular parallelepiped = 40 m, the second is 4 times smaller than the first

One edge of a rectangular parallelepiped = 40 m, the second is 4 times smaller than the first, and the third is 12 cm larger than the first. Find the volume of the rectangular parallelepiped.

By the condition of the problem, one edge of a rectangular parallelepiped is equal to 40 m.Let’s find the second edge if it is known that it is 4 times smaller than the first:

1) 40: 4 = 10 (m).

Let’s find the third edge, which by condition is 12 cm larger than the first. Let’s translate 12 cm into meters:

2) 12 cm = 0, 12 m.

40 + 0, 12 = 40, 12 (m).

The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the product of its three sides:

V = 40 * 10 * 40, 12 = 16 048 (m³).

Answer: 16,048 m³.
