Question
Find the volume of a book of length 25 cm, breadth 18 cm and height 2 cm in m3.
Advertisements
Solution
Length of book = l = 25 cm
Breadth of book = b = 18 cm
Height of book = h = 2 cm
Volume of book = l × b × h
V = 25 × 18 × 2
V = 900 cm3
V = `900/10^6"m"^3`
V = `9/10000"m"^3`
V = 0.0009 m3
