An architect has to design a new building.
In the building there are the following rooms:
3 rooms with heights of 4 m, lengths of 7 m and widths of 3 m.
7 rooms with heights of 9 m, lengths of 4 m and widths of 7 m.
6 rooms with heights of 11 m, lengths of 3 m and widths of 12 m.
Calculate the total volume of the building.

An architect has to design a new building.
In the building there are the following rooms:
3 rooms with heights of 4 m, lengths of 7 m and widths of 3 m.
7 rooms with heights of 9 m, lengths of 4 m and widths of 7 m.
6 rooms with heights of 11 m, lengths of 3 m and widths of 12 m.
Calculate the total volume of the building.
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Let's proceed with the calculations:
Step 1: Calculate the volume for each type of room.
For the first type of room:
For the second type of room:
For the third type of room:
Step 2: Multiply each volume by the number of corresponding rooms.
Total volume for the first type of room:
Total volume for the second type of room:
Total volume for the third type of room:
Step 3: Sum these results to find the total volume.
Total volume of the building:
This means the total volume of the building is .

Calculate the volume of the rectangular prism below using the data provided.
Volume measures 3D space - how much fits inside! When you multiply the three dimensions, you're finding how many unit cubes (like 1×1×1 meter cubes) fit in the room.
The order doesn't matter! Multiplication is commutative, so 4×7×3 = 7×4×3 = 3×7×4. You'll always get the same volume.
Yes! Since the rooms have different dimensions, they have different volumes. Calculate one volume per room type, then multiply by how many of each type you have.
Count the total rooms: 3 + 7 + 6 = 16 rooms. This matches the problem title, so you've included all rooms in your calculation!
Since all dimensions are in meters, your volume will be in cubic meters or . Always check that your units make sense!
