Question 1009548: How do you solve this problem?
You can find the volume of an irregularly shaped solid object by completely submerging it in water and calculating the volume of water the object displaces. You completely submerge a solid object in a rectangular tank that has a base 40 centimeters by 30 centimeters and is filled with water to a depth of 20 centimeters. The object sinks to the bottom, and the water level goes up 0.25 centimeters. What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the object?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of the object equals the volume of water the item displaced.
That volume would be 40 cm by 30 cm by .25 cm = 300 cm^3
