Question

in SI units, whats the volume of dirt it would take to fill a hole thats roughly a rectengular prism. measuring 2ft. by 6ft. by 3ft.

Answer 1

first convert ft to mt

Answer 2

1 foot = 0.3048 meters

Answer 3

should now be a V of prism

.609m by 1.828m by .9144m

Answer 4

1.0179 m cuped

Answer 5

.......

Answer 6

1 ft = 0.3048m

I'd start by converting the measurements to meters so they are in SI units from the start.

The volume of a prism is \[V_{prism}=base * height * length\]
So you end up with:
\[V_{rectprism}=(0.6096m)(1.8288m)(0.9144m)=1.019...m^3\]So I concur with what tim just posted ;)

Answer 7

SI units just means meters instead of feet in your case

Answer 8

before you start any problem in physics unless other wise stated convert everything to SI units

FIrst step all the time.
