Which of the rectangular parallelepipeds is more capacious, if one is 87cm43cm56cm and the second is 62cm62cm62cm.

to find out which of the rectangular parallelepipeds is more spacious, you need to find the volumes of the parallelepipeds and compare them.

Let’s find the volume of a parallelepiped, the dimensions of which are 87 cm by 43 cm and 56 cm. Let’s multiply its three dimensions by each other.

V = 87 cm * 43 cm * 56 cm = 209496 cm³.

Let’s find the volume of the second parallelepiped. We also multiply three of its dimensions.

V = 62 cm * 62 cm * 62 cm = 238328 cm³.

Let’s find the difference between the volumes of the two parallelepiped.

236328 cm³ – 209496 cm³ = 28832 cm³.

Answer: the second parallelepiped is more spacious.
