A rectangular solid measures 1.0m by 5.6cm by 2.1mm express its volume in cubic meters
First, make sure all three measurements have the same unit (I recommend meters because that's what the question calls for)
1.0m=1.0m
5.6cm=0.056m
2.1mm=0.0021m
Then, you just want to multiply the three together to get the total volume.
1.0X0.056X0.0021=0.0001176 or 0.00012, if your teacher wants you to use proper sig figs
Answer : The volume of of rectangle is, \(0.0001176m^3\)
Explanation : Given,
Length of rectangular solid = 1.0 m
Width of rectangular solid = 5.6 cm = 0.056 m
conversion used : (1 cm = 0.01 m)
Height of rectangular solid = 2.1 mm = 0.0021 m
conversion used : (1 mm = 0.001 m)
Formula for volume of rectangle :
\(V=l\times b\times h\)
where,
V = volume of rectangular solid
l = length of rectangular solid
b = width of rectangular solid
h = height of rectangular solid
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
\(V=(1.0m)\times (0.056m)\times (0.0021m)\)
\(V=0.0001176m^3\)
Therefore, the volume of of rectangle is, \(0.0001176m^3\)
