Question

Mrs. Backstrom built a small wooden box for her cat. The box has a length of one and one tenth feet, a width of 1.6 feet, and a height of 2 feet. What is the volume of her cat box?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{Volume of cat box}=3.52\text{ ft}^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mrs. Backstrom built a small wooden box for her cat. The box has a length of one and one tenth feet, a width of 1.6 feet, and a height of 2 feet. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

Let us convert one and one tenth feet into decimal.

$1\frac{1}{10}=\frac{11}{10}=1.1$

Since the cat box is in form of cuboid, so its volume will be equal to the product of length, width and height as:

$\text{Volume of cat box}=1.10\text{ ft}\times 1.6\text{ ft}\times 2\text{ ft}$

$\text{Volume of cat box}=3.52\text{ ft}^3$

Therefore, the volume of the cat box is 3.53 cubic feet.
