Question

A railway car is shaped like a rectangular prism with a length of 18 meters, a width of 3 meters, and a height of 4 meters.

Answer 1

The volume of railway car is 216 cubic meters

Solution:

Given that, Railway car is shaped like a rectangular prism with a length of 18 meters, a width of 3 meters and a height of 4 meters

To find: volume of railway car

The volume of rectangular prism is given as:

$v = l \times w \times h$

Where,

"l" is the length and "w" is the width and "h" is the height of prism

From given question,

length = 18 meters

width = 3 meters

height = 4 meters

Substituting the values, we get

$v = 18 \times 3 \times 4 = 216$

Thus volume of railway car is 216 cubic meters
