How much volume between two objects

Question

ice block one is 10x10x25

ice block two is 16x8x20

How much more volume will the water from ice block 2 take up than water from ice block 1

Answer 1

Hi Dee--

 

To figure out the volume of each block, use the formula V = L x W x H (length times width times height.)

 

Block one has a volume of 10 x 10 x 25, which is 2500 cubic units.

 

Block two has a volume of 16 x 8 x 20, which is 2560 cubic units.

 

To figure out how much more water there is in block two than in block one, just subtract:

 

2560 - 2500 = 60 cubic units.

 

So block 2's water will take up 60 cubic units more volume than block 1's water.

 

Hope this helps!
