Adrian wants to know how much space his toy car takes up. Which of the following should he do to figure it out?

A. Put the toy car on a scale, B. Measure the length, width, and height of the car, then multiply them together, C. Measure its mass and volume, then calculate the density of the car, D. Use the displacement method with a graduated cylinder -A____________________________________________________ B_____________________________________________________ C_____________________________________________________ D_____________________________________________________

Answer explanation

A. Put the toy car on a scale - This would give weight, he is looking for volume


B. Measure the length, width, and height of the car, then multiply them together - Cars are not regular shapes, as they have wheels


C. Measure its mass and volume, then calculate the density of the car - He wants to know volume of the car, not density


D. Use the displacement method with a graduated cylinder - This is correct, because the car is an irregular shape and he wants to calculate the volume.
