Finding the density of a regular shaped object: A rectangular solid of unknown density is 5 meters long, 2 meters high and 4 meters wide. The mass of this solid is 300 grams. a. Find the volume of the object: __________.

• 60 cubic meters
• 20 cubic meters
• 10 cubic meters
• 40 cubic meters

Finding the density of a regular shaped object: A rectangular solid of unknown density is 5 meters long, 2 meters high and 4 meters wide. The mass of this solid is 300 grams

b. Find the density of the object: __________.

• Density = 300g / (5m x 2m x 4m) = 300g / 20m^3 = 15 g/m^3

• Density = 300g / (5m x 2m x 4m) = 300g / 40m^3 = 7.5 g/m^3

• Density = 300g / (5m x 2m x 4m) = 300g / 50m^3 = 6 g/m^3

• Density = 300g / (5m x 2m x 4m) = 300g / 30m^3 = 10 g/m^3

Finding the density of an irregular shaped object: A graduated cylinder contains 17.5 mL of water. When a metal cube is placed into the cylinder, its water level rises to 20.3 mL. The cube's mass is 30g.

a. Find the volume of the cube dropped into the graduated cylinder: __________.

• 10.5 mL
• 5.2 mL
• 0.7 mL
• 2.8 mL
