What is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid object?

  • A. V = W/L
  • B. V = L x W x H
  • C. V = W/H
  • D. V = L/W
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct formula for calculating the volume of a solid object is V = L x W x H, where L represents the length, W represents the width, and H represents the height. Choice A (V = W/L) is incorrect as it represents a division operation, not multiplication. Choice C (V = W/H) is incorrect as it does not account for the width and height. Choice D (V = L/W) is incorrect as it represents the inverse operation of what is needed to calculate volume.
