Question

An object is 12 m long, 0.65 m wide, and 13 cm high. Calculate the volume of this object.

Answer 1

The volume corresponds to the measure of the space occupied by a body. From the given dimensions we can intuit that we are looking to find the Volume of an Cuboid, that is, an orthogonal rectangular prism, whose faces form straight dihedral angles.

Mathematically the volume of this body is given as

$V = lWh$

Where,

L = Length

W = Width

H = High

$V = (12)(0.65)(13*10^{-2})$

$V = 1.014m^3$

Note: The value given for the height was in centimeters, so it was transformed to meters.
