Question

what is the volume of this toy dinosaur? 0.7 cm³ 0.8 cm³ 1.0 cm³ 5.0 cm³

Explanation:

Step1: Identify initial and final volumes

The initial volume of water in the graduated - cylinder is 4.0 cm³ and the final volume after adding the toy dinosaur is 5.0 cm³.

Step2: Calculate the volume of the toy dinosaur

The volume of the toy dinosaur is equal to the difference between the final and initial volumes of water. Let \(V_d\) be the volume of the dinosaur, \(V_f\) be the final volume of water, and \(V_i\) be the initial volume of water. Then \(V_d=V_f - V_i\). Substituting \(V_f = 5.0\ cm^3\) and \(V_i = 4.0\ cm^3\), we get \(V_d=5.0 - 4.0=1.0\ cm^3\).

Answer:

C. \(1.0\ cm^3\)
