Scale out the volume of a piece of wood in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped

Scale out the volume of a piece of wood in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, if its measurements are exactly 2.5 cm; 4 cm; 6.2 cm.

For a rectangular parallelepiped, all six side faces are rectangles.

A rectangular parallelepiped is a special case of a prism.

To calculate the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped, you need to multiply the area of its base by the height of the figure.

Formula for the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped:

V = abc;

V is the volume of the figure;

a and b – the length and width of the base;

c is the height of the figure.

Let’s find the volume of the bar:

V = 2.5 cm * 4 cm * 6.2 cm = 62 cm3.

Answer: the volume of a wooden block is 62 cm3.
