Question

What is the volume of a refrigerator with a height of 180 cm, width of 80 cm, and depth of 60 cm?

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangle (or rectangular prism) like a refrigerator, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Height} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Depth}
\]

Given:
- Height = 180 cm
- Width = 80 cm
- Depth = 60 cm

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 180 \, \text{cm} \times 80 \, \text{cm} \times 60 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating step by step:

1. Calculate \( 180 \times 80 \):
\[
180 \times 80 = 14400 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

2. Now, multiply this result by the depth (60 cm):
\[
14400 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 60 \, \text{cm} = 864000 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the refrigerator is:

\[
\text{Volume} = 864000 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

So, the final answer is \( 864000 \, \text{cm}^3 \) or \( 864 \, \text{liters} \) (since \( 1 \, \text{liter} = 1000 \, \text{cm}^3 \)).
