The volume of the rectangular parallelepiped is 72 cm3. Width – 4 cm. Length – 6 cm.

The volume of the rectangular parallelepiped is 72 cm3. Width – 4 cm. Length – 6 cm. What will be the volume if the length is increased by 2 cm.

Let’s find the volume of a rectangular parallelepiped if the length is increased by 2 cm.

To do this, we first calculate the height from the volume of the original parallelepiped.

V = a * b * c.

Hence c = V \ a * b.

We substitute. c = 72/4 * 6 = 72/24 = 3 cm.

Now we will increase the length by 2 cm.

6 cm + 2 cm = 8 cm new parallelepiped length.

And we find the volume of the new rectangular parallelepiped using the formula.

V = 4 * 8 * 3 = 96 cm 2.

Answer: the volume is 96 cm 2.
