Question

The width of a box is one third of its length. The

height of the box is one third of its width. If the
length of the box is 27 cm, what is the volume of
the box?
a. 81 cm3
b. 162 cm3
c. 243 cm3
d. 729 cm3

Answer 1

d) 729cm^3

Explanation:

Length =27cm

Width = 1/3 of length

= 1/3 of 27cm = 1/3 × 27cm = 9cm

Height = 1/3 of width

= 1/3 of 9cm = 1/3 × 9cm = 3cm

So, length = 27cm; width = 9cm; height = 3cm

So, volume = length × width × height

= 27cm × 9cm × 3cm = 729cm^3
