Question

Ashley is stacking two boxes on a shelf the bottom box measures 6 in Long x 5 in wide x 5 inches high the top box is a cube with one Edge measuring 4 inches what is the volume of the stack explain how you found your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume_stack = 214 n^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the stack is the sum of the volume of the two boxes

The rectangular box has a volume of

V_rectbox = long*wide*height

V_rectbox  = 6 in * 5in * 5 in = 150 in^3

The volume of the cube is

V_cube = long*wide*height , but since all its sides are equal

V_cube  = side^3 = (4 in)^3 = 64 in^3

Volume_stack = V_rectbox  +  V_cube  = 150 in^3 + 64 in^3

Volume_stack = 214 n^3
