The height of the rectangular parallelepiped is 10 cm, the width is 4 cm, and the perimeter of the base is 20 cm. Find the volume.

Knowing the perimeter of the base and the width of the parallelepiped, we determine its length.

Since the parallelepiped is rectangular, then all its faces are rectangles, then

Ravsd = 2 * AB + 2 * BC.

20 = 2 * 4 + 2 * BC.

2 * BC = 20 – 8 = 12 cm.

BC = 12/2 = 6 cm.

Determine the area of the base of the parallelepiped.

Sbn = AB * BC = 4 * 6 = 24 cm2.

Let’s define the volume of the parallelepiped.

V = Sbn * АА1 = 24 * 10 = 240 cm3.

Answer: The volume is 240 cm3.
