The correct Answer is:
To find the volume of the cubical room given that the longest rod that can be placed in it is \(15\sqrt{3}\) cm, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the diagonal and the side of the cube The longest rod that can fit in a cube is the diagonal of the cube. The formula for the diagonal \(d\) of a cube with side length \(A\) is given by: \[ d = A\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation We know from the problem that the diagonal \(d\) is \(15\sqrt{3}\) cm. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ A\sqrt{3} = 15\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 3: Solve for the side length \(A\) To find \(A\), we can divide both sides of the equation by \(\sqrt{3}\): \[ A = 15 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the volume of the cube The volume \(V\) of a cube is given by the formula: \[ V = A^3 \] Substituting the value of \(A\): \[ V = 15^3 \] ### Step 5: Compute \(15^3\) Calculating \(15^3\): \[ 15^3 = 15 \times 15 \times 15 = 225 \times 15 = 3375 \text{ cm}^3 \] ### Final Answer The volume of the cubical room is \(3375 \text{ cm}^3\). ---
