Question

A large concrete block is used for the cornerstone of a building. The block is 18 yd deep, 23 yd wide, and 16 yd long. What volume of concrete is needed to make this block?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the volume of concrete needed to make this block, you need to calculate the volume of the block using the formula:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

In this case:

Volume = 18 yd x 23 yd x 16 yd = 7,648 cubic yards

So, 7,648 cubic yards of concrete are needed to make this block.

Alternatively, you can use the formula:

V=LWH, where V is the volume, L is the length, W is the width and H is the height.
