Question

Calculate the volume of a box, in cubic centimeters, which is 423 cm long, 12 cm wide, and 25 cm high. Report your answer with
correct significant figures in cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=1.3x10^5cm^3$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the volume is obtained by multiplying the length, width and height of the box:

$V=W*L*H$

Given each dimension we find:

$V=423cm*12cm*25cm\\\\V=126900cm^3$

Nevertheless, since the shortest number is 12, we need to show the volume with two significant figures and in scientific notation as follows:

$V=1.3x10^5cm^3$

Best regards.
