The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 42 cm, the width is 27 cm less than the length, and the height is 3 times

The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 42 cm, the width is 27 cm less than the length, and the height is 3 times less than the width. Find the volume of this parallelepiped.

Let’s solve this task by actions with explanations.
1) 42 – 27 = 15 centimeters – the width of the rectangular parallelepiped, since it is 27 centimeters less than the length, and the length is 42 centimeters;
2) 15: 3 = 5 centimeters – the height of the rectangular parallelepiped, since it is 3 times less than the width, and the width is 15 centimeters;
3) 42 * 15 * 5 = 630 * 5 = 3 150 cubic centimeters – the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped with a length of 42 centimeters, a width of 15 centimeters and a height of 5 centimeters.
Answer: 3,150 cubic centimeters.
