A sculptor has a copper piece in the shape of a rectangular prism. The piece measures 5 miles by 0.9 mile by 0.02 mile and its mass is 894 kilograms.

 

What is the density of the copper?

Volume of prisim = 5 * 0.9 * 0.02  = 0.09  mi^3

 

Density =  Mass / Volume   =  894 / 0.09   ≈  9933.3   kg/mi^3

Note: Density of copper is about 9 g/cm^3. The density calculated in your question is about 4,000,000,000x LESS than the true density of copper!!.
