Question

two blocks of wood are shaped as right rectangle prisms the smaller block has a length of 9 cm a width of 3 cm and a height of 7 cm the dimensions of the larger block are double the dimensions of the smaller block. what is the volume of the larger block of wood ?

Answer 1

1,512 cm³

Explanation:

The general formula for the volume of a prism is:

V= Bh, where B = the area of the base and h = height of the prism

Given the dimensions of the smaller block as 9cm x 3cm x 7cm, then the dimensions of the larger block (double the dimensions of the smaller block) must be 18cm x 6cm x 14cm. Using these measurements:

V = (18)(6)(14) = 1,512 cm³
