Answer 1

Answer:

All 3 options A,B,C satisfy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Max's pet inchworm lives in a cardboard box that has a volume of 80 cubic centimeters.

To find : Which of the following could be the dimensions of Max's box? Choose all answers that apply.

Solution :

The volume of the cardboard is

$\text{Volume}=\text{Length}\times\text{Width}\times\text{Height}$

We have given options,

Option A - 2 cm long,5 cm width, 8 cm high

Applying volume formula,

$\text{Volume}=2\times5\times8$

$\text{Volume}=80cm^3$

Which is equivalent to Max's pet box.

Option B - 4 cm long,5 cm width, 4 cm high

Applying volume formula,

$\text{Volume}=4\times5\times4$

$\text{Volume}=80cm^3$

Which is equivalent to Max's pet box.

Option C - 10 cm long,4 cm width, 2 cm high

Applying volume formula,

$\text{Volume}=10\times4\times2$

$\text{Volume}=80cm^3$

Which is equivalent to Max's pet box.

Therefore, All 3 options satisfying the condition.
