Question

The table below lists the measurements of certain rectangular blocks. Can you find out the missing measurements? The measurements are all in centimetres.

		Length (cm)		Breadth (cm)		Height (cm)		Volume (cu.cm)
1.		40		……		30		600
2.		…...		15		16		6000
3.		12		5		……		90
4.		6		……		4		12
5.		16		2		1		……

Answer 1

1. Length of the rectangular block = 40 cm

Height of the rectangular block = 30 cm

Volume of the rectangular block = 600 cm³

Volume of the rectangular block = Length × Breadth × Height

2. Breadth of the rectangular block = 15 cm

Height of the rectangular block = 16 cm

Volume of the rectangular block = 6000 cm³

Volume of the rectangular block = Length × Breadth × Height

3. Length of the rectangular block = 12 cm

Breadth of the rectangular block = 5 cm

Volume of the rectangular block = 90 cm³

Volume of the rectangular block = Length × Breadth × Height

4. Length of the rectangular block = 6 cm

Height of the rectangular block = 4 cm

Volume of the rectangular block = 12 cm³

Volume of the rectangular block = Length × Breadth × Height

5. Length of the rectangular block = 16 cm

Breadth of the rectangular block = 2 cm

Height of the rectangular block = 1 cm

Volume of the rectangular block = Length × Breadth × Height

= 16 cm × 2 cm × 1 cm

= 32 cm³

The table can be completed as follows:

		Length (cm)		Breadth (cm)		Height (cm)		Volume (cu.cm)
1		40		0.5		30		600
2		25		15		16		6000
3		12		5		1.5		90
4		6		0.5		4		12
5		16		2		1
