Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP.

Answer 1

Volume of the original block (V) of length (l), width (w) and height (h) is given by the following equation

$V = l*b*h$

hence volume of original block, V =  (6)(4)(10) = $240 cm^{3}$

Now say we cut this block in two equal parts, than the length of new block will    be $6/2 = 3 cm$ ; where as its width and height will be same as of original block i.e. 4 cm and 10 cm respectively.

So, Volume of half-block is $= (3)(4)(10) = 120 cm^{3}$ ; or we can say that the volume of half-block is half that of orignal block.
