The length, breadth and height of a rectangular iron block are 8 centimetres, 5 centimetres and 2 centimetres. What is its volume?
The weight of 1 cubic centimeter of iron is 7.8 grams. What is the weight of the iron block?
Length of the rectangular iron block = 8 cm
Breadth of the rectangular iron block = 5 cm
Height of the rectangular iron block = 2 cm
Volume of the rectangular iron block = Length × Breadth × Height
= 8 cm × 5 cm × 2 cm
= 80 cm3
Weight of 1 cm3 of iron = 7.8 g
∴ Weight of 80 cm3 of iron = 7.8 × 80 g = 624 g
Thus, the weight of the iron block is 624 g.
