992 1/2

Answer 2

Volume of the stack book is given by:

`V = A \cdot h` .....[1]

where

V is the volume of the stack book.

A is the area of the stack book and

h is the height of the stack.

As per the statement:

The area of each book is 63 square inches.. The height of the stack is 15.75 inches.

⇒ Area of book(A) = 63 square inches.

and height(h) = 15.75 inches.

then;

substitute these in [1] we have;

`V = 63 \cdot 15.75= 992.25` cubic inches.

Therefore, volume of the stack of books is 992.25 cubic inches
