Question

Aaron bought a set of plastic ice cubes with a mixture of water and air inside.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of water and air is 3,000 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of base = 15 mm

Width of base = 20 mm

Height of figure = 30 mm

Find:

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes.

Computation:

Height of each rectangular pyramid = Height of figure / 2

Height of each rectangular pyramid = 30 / 2

Height of each rectangular pyramid = 15 mm

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = lbh / 3

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = [15 × 20 × 15] / 3

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = [4,500] / 3

Volume of each rectangular pyramid = 1,500 mm³

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes = 2 × Volume of each rectangular pyramid

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes = 2 × 1,500

Volume of water and air is inside each of the plastic ice cubes = 3,000 mm³
