The length of the rectangle of the parallelepiped is 42 cm, the width is 0.27 m less

The length of the rectangle of the parallelepiped is 42 cm, the width is 0.27 m less than the length and the height is 3 times less than the width, find the volume of this parallelepiped

Let’s find the dimensions of the parallelepiped. By the condition of the problem, the width is 0.27 m less than the length, we translate into one unit of length:

since 1m = 100 cm, then 0.27m = 27cm.

1) 42 – 27 = 15 (cm).

If it is known that the height is 3 times less than the width, it will be equal to:

2) 15/3 = 5 (cm).

Let’s calculate the volume of the figure:

3) 42 * 15 * 5 = 3150 (cm3).

Answer: the volume of a parallelepiped is 3150 cm3.
