A typical Stone on the lowest level of the Great Pyramid in Egypt was a rectangular prism 5 feet long by 5 feet high by 6 feet deep and weighed 15 Tons. what was the volume of the average Stone?? how much did one cubic foot of this stone weigh???plz help this is an emergency and THANK YOU very MUCH!!!!!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
5 * 5 * 6 = 150 cubic feet
150 / 15 = 10 cubic feet weighed 1 ton
To find the volume of the stone, we need to multiply its length, height, and depth. The given measurements are:
Length = 5 feet
Height = 5 feet
Depth = 6 feet
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying these three dimensions together:
Volume = Length × Height × Depth
Substituting the given measurements into the formula, we get:
Volume = 5 feet × 5 feet × 6 feet
= 150 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the average stone is 150 cubic feet.
To find out how much one cubic foot of this stone weighs, we need to divide the total weight of the stone by its volume. The given weight is:
Weight = 15 tons
Since 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, we can convert the weight to pounds:
Weight = 15 tons × 2,000 pounds/ton
= 30,000 pounds
To calculate the weight of one cubic foot, we divide the total weight by the volume:
Weight per cubic foot = Weight ÷ Volume
= 30,000 pounds ÷ 150 cubic feet
= 200 pounds
Therefore, one cubic foot of this stone weighs 200 pounds.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
