The width of the rectangular parallelepiped is 3 3/4 cm, its length is 5 1/3
The width of the rectangular parallelepiped is 3 3/4 cm, its length is 5 1/3 times its width, and its height is 80% of the length. Calculate the volume.
Let’s find the length of the given rectangular parallelepiped.
According to the condition of the problem, the width of this rectangular parallelepiped is 3 3/4 cm, and its length is 5 1/3 times its width, therefore, the length of this rectangular parallelepiped is:
(15/4) * (16/3) = 15 * 16 / (3 * 4) = 5 * 4 = 20 cm.
Find the height of this rectangular parallelepiped.
According to the condition of the problem, the height of this parallelepiped is 80% of its length, therefore, the height of this rectangular parallelepiped is:
20 * (80/100) = 20 * (8/10) = 16 cm.
Find the volume V of a given rectangular parallelepiped:
V = 15/4 * 20 * 16 = 15 * 5 * 16 = 1200 cm³.
Answer: the volume of this rectangular parallelepiped is 1200 cm³.
