Solving Word Problems on Volume of Solid Figures
Each book of a set of encyclopedia measures 2.85dm by 2.15dm by 0.4dm. The encyclopedia has 19 books. What is the total volume of all books?
+9479 First let's just find the volume of one book.
Volume is length times width times height.
V = (L)(W)(H)
V = (2.85)(2.15)(0.4)
Just multiply these together in a calculator.
V = 2.451 cubic dm
The volume of one book is 2.451 cubic dm.
Since there are 19 books, just multiply that volume by 19.
2.451*19 = 46.569
Total volume = 46.569 cubic dm.
