Question

of ft long and 48.0 ft wide and has 8.0-ft-high cellings. What is the volume of the interior the house in cubic meters and cubic centimeters? m3 cm

Answer 1

$1\;ft = 0.3048 \; m$

Therefore, $1\;ft^3 = \left( 0.3048\right )^3 \; m^3=0.0283\;m^3$

Hence volume of the interior of the house is,

$V=59\times 48\times 8\; ft^3=59\times 48\times 8\times 0.0283\;m^3=641.1648\;m^3$

$V = 641.1648 \;m^3 = 641.1648\times 10^6 \;cm^3 \approx 6.41\times 10^8 cm^3$
