SUMMARY
The volume of a room measuring 25 ft long, 20 ft wide, and 15 ft tall can be accurately calculated in cubic meters by converting each dimension from feet to meters using the conversion factor of 1 m = 3.281 ft. The correct conversion for each dimension is: 25 ft = 7.62 m, 20 ft = 6.10 m, and 15 ft = 4.57 m. The final volume in cubic meters is obtained by multiplying these converted dimensions: 7.62 m * 6.10 m * 4.57 m, resulting in approximately 215.3 cubic meters.
