Question

Which holds more? A rectangular prism that measures 2 x 8 x 7in or one that measures 3 x 4 x 8in? How much more? explain as much as you can please if can!​

Answer 1

answer: 2 x 8 x 7

step-by-step explanation:

how much a container holds is also known as its volume.

to find volume, you simply multiply the height by the length and width.

2 x 8 x 7 = 112 inches cubed

3 x 4 x 8 = 96 inches cubed

since 112 is greater than 96, the prism that measures 2 x 8 x 7 inches has more volume, or space inside them to hold things.

hope this helps! :)
