The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 20cm, the width is 0.8 parts of the length, and the height is 0.6

The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 20cm, the width is 0.8 parts of the length, and the height is 0.6 parts of the width. Calculate the volume of this parallelepiped.

1. According to the problem statement, a rectangular parallelepiped is given.

It is known to be 20 cm long.

The width of the shape is not explicitly set, but the problem says that it is 0.8 times the length.

Let’s calculate what the width is.

20 * 0.8 = 16 cm.

2. The height of the rectangular parallelepiped is 0.6 parts of the width.

Let’s find the height.

16 * 0.6 = 9.6 cm.

3. Knowing all the parameters, you can find the volume of this parallelepiped.

It is determined by the product of length x width x height.

20 * 16 * 9.6 = 192 * 16 = 3072 cm3.

Answer: The volume is 3072 cm3.
