The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 8 cm, and the width is 2 cm less than the length, and the height
The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 8 cm, and the width is 2 cm less than the length, and the height is 2 times greater than the width. Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped.
The length of the rectangular parallelepiped is 8 cm.
1) Find the width of the rectangular parallelepiped if it is 2 cm less than the length.
8 cm – 2 cm = 6 cm.
2) Find the height of the rectangular parallelepiped if the height is 2 times more than the width.
6 cm * 2 = 6 * 2 cm = 12.
3) Find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped by multiplying the length by the width and by the height.
V = 8 cm * 6 cm * 12 cm = 8 * 6 * 12 cm ^ 3 = 48 * 12 cm ^ 3 = 48 * (10 + 2) cm ^ 3 = 48 * 10 cm ^ 3 + 48 * 2 cm ^ 3 = 480 cm ^ 3 + 40 * 2 cm ^ 3 + 8 * 2 cm ^ 3 = 480 cm ^ 3 + 80 cm ^ 3 + 16 cm ^ 3 = 560 cm ^ 3 + 16 cm ^ 3 = 576 cm ^ 3 …
Answer: V = 576 cm ^ 3.
