You need to put in a concrete floor. The floor dimensions are: Length (l) 6m, Width (w) 3.5m, Depth (d) 0.1m. How many cubic metres of concrete do you need?


To calculate the volume of concrete required, we use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

\[
V = l \times w \times d
\]

Where:
- \( l = 6 \, \text{m} \) (length),
- \( w = 3.5 \, \text{m} \) (width),
- \( d = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) (depth).

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[
V = 6 \times 3.5 \times 0.1 = 2.1 \, \text{m}^3
\]

You will need **2.1 cubic meters** of concrete for the floor.

2. How much concrete would be needed if the width increased by 1m?
3. What is the formula for the volume of irregularly shaped spaces?
4. If the floor has sloping sides, how would you adjust the calculation?
5. How can you convert cubic meters to cubic yards?

**Tip:** Always order a little extra concrete to account for any spillage or imperfections in leveling.
