Answer:
The height of the giraffe is 27.432 decimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 1 foot to decimeters you would multiply by 3.048.
We need to multiply 9 feet by 3.048 which would give you the answer of 27.432 decimeters.
Knowing the volume of a 3-D shape is extremely when deciding what materials to use and how much of them to use. When you know the volume of the different designs is helpful when deciding which material costs less to use but still meets requirements. For example, if you were trying to decide what material to fill your product with, and say the volume of your product is 36^3. You narrow things down to two products, one costing $54 to fill the entire thing. The other costing $60. Because you have the volume, it will be easy to decide which is better based off of the price per square inch. If you didn't have the volume. You would have to make an estimate and potentially make a bad business decision.
Hope this helps! I apologize for my long response
