The volume of both shoeboxes are 600 and 882 cubic centimeters and the shoebox B takes up more space

<h3>How to find the volume of both shoeboxes and tell which shoebox takes up more space?</h3>

The dimensions are given as:

<u>Shoebox A</u>

Length = 20 cm

Width = 6 cm

Height = 5 cm

<u>Shoebox B</u>

Length = 18 cm

Width = 7 cm

Height = 7 cm.

The volume is calculated as:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

So, we have

Shoebox A = 20 * 6 * 5 = 600

Shoebox B = 18 * 7 * 7 = 882

882 is greater than 600

Hence, the shoebox B takes up more space
