The height of the cuboid is 50% greater than its length

Calculate the volume of the cube

101010

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Determine the length of the cuboid as a percentage of the width.
  • Step 2: Calculate the height of the cuboid as a percentage increase from the length.
  • Step 3: Use the dimensions to calculate the volume of the cuboid.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate the length:

L=W×(10.40)=10cm×0.60=6cm L = W \times (1 - 0.40) = 10 \, \text{cm} \times 0.60 = 6 \, \text{cm}

Step 2: Calculate the height:

H=L×1.50=6cm×1.50=9cm H = L \times 1.50 = 6 \, \text{cm} \times 1.50 = 9 \, \text{cm}

Step 3: Calculate the volume:

V=W×L×H=10cm×6cm×9cm=540cm3 V = W \times L \times H = 10 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} \times 9 \, \text{cm} = 540 \, \text{cm}^3

Therefore, the volume of the cuboid is 540cm3 \mathbf{540 \, \text{cm}^3} .

Answer

540 cm³

Step 2: Use the volume formula: V=L×W×H V = L \times W \times H .

Step 3: Substitute the values:
V=4.8×12×3.6 V = 4.8 \times 12 \times 3.6 .
Calculate V=207.36cm3 V = 207.36 \, \text{cm}^3 .

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is approximately 207.36cm3 207.36 \, \text{cm}^3 .
The answer closest to this value, accounting for rounding to match choices given, is 207.3 cm³.

The correct answer is choice 2: 207.3 cm³.

Calculate the volume of the cube

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll calculate the volume of the cube directly given its edge length:

  • Step 1: Recall that the volume V V of a cube with edge length a a is given by the formula V=a3 V = a^3 .
  • Step 2: We are provided the edge length a=9 a = 9 cm.
  • Step 3: Substitute a=9 a = 9 cm into the formula for the volume: V=93 V = 9^3 .
  • Step 4: Calculate 93=9×9×9=81×9=729 9^3 = 9 \times 9 \times 9 = 81 \times 9 = 729 cm³.

However, this reveals a discrepancy, as the originally provided answer should have been revisited. The initial error here appears to be with not correcting the originally context-provided solution. In the typical context, the answer would indeed be 729 cm³, not the 243 cm³ which is inconsistent with proper cube volume calculations.

Thus, the correct calculation is that the volume of the cube is indeed 729cm3 729 \, \text{cm}^3 , matching the accurate interpretation of the inputs.

Answer

243 cm³

Exercise #4

Length is smaller in 40% of width

The height of the cuboid is equal to 50% of its length

Calculate the volume of the cube

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem of finding the volume of the given cuboid, we will follow these detailed steps:

First, we need to calculate the length of the cuboid:

  • The width is given as 10cm 10 \, \text{cm} .
  • The length is 40% 40\% smaller than the width, so we calculate the change as 0.40×10cm=4cm 0.40 \times 10 \, \text{cm} = 4 \, \text{cm} .
  • Thus, the length is 10cm4cm=6cm 10 \, \text{cm} - 4 \, \text{cm} = 6 \, \text{cm} .

Next, we calculate the height of the cuboid:

  • The height is 50% 50\% of the length.
  • Thus, the height is 0.50×6cm=3cm 0.50 \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 3 \, \text{cm} .

Finally, calculate the volume of the cuboid using the formula:

  • The volume V V is given by V=length×width×height V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} .
  • Substitute the known values: V=6cm×10cm×3cm V = 6 \, \text{cm} \times 10 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} .
  • Perform the multiplication: V=180cm3 V = 180 \, \text{cm}^3 .

Therefore, the volume of the cuboid is 180cm3 180 \, \text{cm}^3 .

Answer

180 cm³

Exercise #5

Calculate the volume of the cube

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we must calculate the missing dimensions of the cuboid and use the volume formula:

  • Step 1: Determine the length of the cuboid.
  • Step 2: Calculate the height of the cuboid.
  • Step 3: Compute the volume using the cuboid's dimensions.

Let's work through each step in detail:

Step 1: Determine the Length.

The width of the cuboid is given as 10cm 10 \, \text{cm} . The length is 40% less than the width. To find the length:

Length=Width0.4×Width \text{Length} = \text{Width} - 0.4 \times \text{Width}

Length=100.4×10=104=6cm \text{Length} = 10 - 0.4 \times 10 = 10 - 4 = 6 \, \text{cm}

Step 2: Calculate the Height.

The height is 50% greater than the length. To find the height:

Height=Length+0.5×Length \text{Height} = \text{Length} + 0.5 \times \text{Length}

Height=6+0.5×6=6+3=9cm \text{Height} = 6 + 0.5 \times 6 = 6 + 3 = 9 \, \text{cm}

Step 3: Compute the Volume.

The volume of the cuboid is given by:

V=Length×Width×Height V = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}

V=6×10×9=540cm3 V = 6 \times 10 \times 9 = 540 \, \text{cm}^3

Thus, the volume of the cuboid is 540cm3\boxed{540 \, \text{cm}^3}.

Answer

540 cm³

Exercise #6

Given the cuboid whose width is 12 cm

Its length is equal to 40% of the width of the cuboid.

The height of the cuboid is equal to 30% of width

Calculate the volume of the cube

121212

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given information and calculate the length and height.

  • Step 2: Apply the formula for the volume of a cuboid.

  • Step 3: Perform the necessary calculations to find the volume.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Identify the given information and calculate the dimensions

We know the cuboid has a width of w=12 w = 12 cm. The length l l is stated to be 40% of this width. Thus, we calculate:
l=0.4×12=4.8 l = 0.4 \times 12 = 4.8 cm.

The height h h is 30% of the width, so:
h=0.3×12=3.6 h = 0.3 \times 12 = 3.6 cm.

Step 2: Apply the formula for the volume of a cuboid

The formula for the volume of a cuboid is given by V=l×w×h V = l \times w \times h .

Step 3: Calculate the volume

Now, substitute the values for l l , w w , and h h :
V=4.8×12×3.6=207.36 V = 4.8 \times 12 \times 3.6 = 207.36 cm³.

Therefore, the volume of the cuboid is 207.36 207.36 cm³.

Answer

207.36 cm³
