Question

A brick measures 25 cm by 12 cm by 13 cm. What is the volume of the brick in cm3? How many millilitters of water would this brick displace?

Answer 1

25 cm x 12 cm x 13 cm = 3900 cm^3 Water has a density of 1 mL/cm^3, so the brick would displace 3900 mL of water.

Answer 2

Volume of brick = 3900 cm3 = 3.9*10^3 cm3

Volume of water displaced = 3900 ml = 3.9*10^3 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the brick = 25 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm

To determine:

a) Volume of the brick

b) Volume (ml) of water displaced by the brick

Calculation:

a) Volume of the brick (cube) is expressed as a product of the dimensions

`Volume = length (l)*width(w)*height(h)`

`Volume = 25cm*12cm*13 cm = 3900cm^(3) = 3.9*10^(3) cm^(3)`

b) The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the brick.

Since, 1 ml = 1 cm3

Therefore, volume of water displaced = 3900 ml = 3.9*10^3 ml
