Question

which has a greater volume: a cuboid measuring 121 cm × 40cm × 8cm or a cuboidal box measuring 2.1cm × 130cm × 0.5m​

Answer 1

Answer:

The cuboid has a greater volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the volume of a cube using the formula V=length x width x height (V=lwh). To solve, compare the volumes of the two cubes.

Cuboid

V=lwh

V=(121)(40)(8)

V=38 720

Since the height of the cuboid box is in meters we must convert it to centimeters.

0.5m x 100 = 50

Cuboidal Box

V=lwh

V=(2.1)(130)(50)

V=13 650

The cuboid has a greater volume.
