Answer 1

To calculate the volume of the bookshelf, you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{depth} \times \text{height}
\]

Given:
- Length = 147 cm
- Depth = 15 cm
- Height = 112 cm

Now, plug these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 147 \, \text{cm} \times 15 \, \text{cm} \times 112 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating step-by-step:

1. Multiply the length and depth:

\[
147 \times 15 = 2205
\]

2. Now multiply that result by the height:

\[
2205 \times 112 = 246,960
\]

Therefore, the volume of the bookshelf is:

\[
\text{Volume} = 246,960 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

So the correct response is:
246,960 cm³
