calculate its volume in cm3

Question

a liquid container is 5.5m long, 3.2m wide. the depth of the container is 169cm

Answer 1

You don't say specifically what the shape is, but the way you describe it sounds like it is a box, or rectangular prism.

 

Since the answer is requested in units of cm³, you want to do all the calculations using lengths of cm, not m.

 

There are 100 cm in 1 meter. So in cm, the dimensions are 550 cm x 320 cm x 169 cm.  Multiply these together and you get 29744000 cm³.
