A wooden beam has a rectangular cross face 24cm by 15cm, and is 8m long. Calculate the volume of the beam
The volume of a rectangular beam can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = length x width x height
Given that the length is 8m, the width is 24cm (0.24m), and the height is 15cm (0.15m), the volume can be calculated as:
Volume = 8m x 0.24m x 0.15m = 0.288 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the wooden beam is 0.288 cubic meters.
