The width of a piece of paper is 8.5in the length is 11in and the thickness is 0.0037inches there are 2700sheets sitting in a cabinet by the copy machine what is the volume of occupied by the paper.

934.2 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Width (W) = 8.5 in

Length (L) = 11 in

Thickness (T) = 0.0037 in

Number of paper = 2700 sheets

Volume occupied by the 2700 sheets of paper =?

Next, we shall determine the volume of 1 sheet of paper. This can be obtained as follow:

Width (W) = 8.5 in

Length (L) = 11 in

Thickness (T) = 0.0037 in

Volume (V) =?

Volume = Length × Width × Thickness

Volume = 11 × 8.5 × 0.0037

Volume = 0.346 in³

Thus, the volume of 1 sheet of paper is 0.346 in³

Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by the 2700 sheets of paper as follow:

Volume of 1 sheet of paper = 0.346 in³

Volume of 2700 sheets of paper =?

1 sheet of paper occupied 0.346 in³.

Therefore, 2700 sheets of paper will occupy = 0.346 × 2700 = 934.2 in³

Thus, the volume occupied by the 2700 sheets of paper is 934.2 in³.
