Question 1 Report

A cuboid of base 12.5cm by 20cm holds exactly 1 litre of water. What is the height of the cuboid? (1 litre =1000cm3)

Answer Details
The volume of the cuboid is given by the product of its length, width, and height. Let's call the height of the cuboid "h". Then, we have: Volume of cuboid = length x width x height 1 liter = 1000 cm^3 Substituting the given values, we have: 1000 cm^3 = 12.5 cm x 20 cm x h Simplifying this expression, we get: 1000 cm^3 = 250 cm x h Dividing both sides by 250 cm, we get: h = 1000 cm^3 / 250 cm h = 4 cm Therefore, the height of the cuboid is 4cm. Answer: 4cm.
