The length of a rectangular parallelepiped is 3/4, width is 4/9 dm, and the height
The length of a rectangular parallelepiped is 3/4, width is 4/9 dm, and the height is 1/3 dm less than the width. What is the volume of a parallelepiped?
1) Let’s write the formula for calculating the area of a square:
S = a * a = a ^ 2.
By the condition of the problem, the length of the side of the square is 5/9 dm, we find its area:
S = (5/9) 2 = 25/81 (dm2).
Answer: The area of the square is 25/81 dm2.
2) Find the height of the parallelepiped, taking into account that it is 1/3 dm less than its width:
4/9 – 1/3 = 1 * 4/9 – 3 * 1/3 = 4/9 – 3/9 = 1/9 (dm).
Let’s write the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped:
V = abс.
Substituting the length, width and height values into the formula, we determine the volume of the parallelepiped:
V = 3/4 * 4/9 * 1/9 = 12/324 = 1/27 (dm3).
Answer: The volume of a rectangular parallelepiped is 1/27 dm3.
