The height of a rectangular parallelepiped is 20 cm, which is 4 cm less than

The height of a rectangular parallelepiped is 20 cm, which is 4 cm less than its length and 5 times its width. Calculate the volume of this parallelepiped.

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped:

V = abc, where a – width, b – length, c – height.

1) Find the length of the parallelepiped:

20 + 4 = 24 (cm) – the length of the parallelepiped;

2) Find the width of the parallelepiped:

20: 5 = 4 (cm) – the width of the parallelepiped.

3) Find the volume of the parallelepiped:

24 × 20 × 4 = 1920 (see cube) – the volume of the parallelepiped.

Answer: 1920 cm cube is the volume of a parallelepiped.
