The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 36 cm, the width is 2 times less than the length

The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 36 cm, the width is 2 times less than the length, and the height is 3 cm less than the width. what are the area of the base and the volume of the figure?

1. Let’s calculate the dimensions of the given parallelepiped:
1) width – b = 36: 2 = 18 cm;
2) height – c = 18 – 3 = 15 cm.
2. Determine the area of its base:
S = a · b = 36 · 18 = 648 cm².
3. Let’s calculate the volume of this parallelepiped:
V = S · c = 648 · 15 = 9720 cm³.
Answer: S = 648 cm², V = 9720 cm³.
