1 10.8 cm 6.9 cm 3.75 cm 4.25 in 2.71 in 1.44 in

2 10.75 cm 7 cm 3.7 cm 4.26 in 2.7 in 1.45 in
3 10.8 cm 7 cm 3.7 cm 4.25 in 2.7 in 1.46 in
Average 10.78 cm 6.97 cm 3.72 cm 4.25 in 2.7 in 1.45 in

Volume of block in cm3 (ave) = 279.51 cm3

Volume of block in inch3 (ave) = 16.64 inch3
Therefore, 1 inch3 = 16.79 cm3 (Experimental Value, EV)

Accepted value (AV): 1 in3 = 16.39 cm3

Percentage error = 2.49%

Note: When comparing results with certain accepted values, use:
