Chapter 10 - Geometry - 10.5 Volume and Surface Area - Exercise Set 10.5 - Page 658: 53

Answer

Does not make sense.

Work Step by Step

In geometry, Volume may be defined as the capacity or space that is being occupied by an item. The volume is expressed in terms of cubic units. The volume of a rectangular solid is computed by multiplying the length, width, and the height of the rectangular solid. The volume of a particular solid figure can be converted from cubic inches to cubic feet by simply dividing the volume in cubic inches with the cube of 12. Accordingly in the given situation as well, In order to convert the volume of rectangular solid from cubic inches to cubic feet, the volume must be divided by the cube of 12 instead of 12. The volume must be divided by the cube of 12 instead of simply 12 to convert the volume from cubic inches to cubic feet Hence, the given statement does not make sense.
