Question

A packing box has the dimensions 3 by 2 by 5 1/2 What is the volume of the box? feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of packing box is 33 unit³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The dimension of packing box  are 3 by 2 by 5 $\frac{1}{2}$

I.e Length = 3 unit

   Width = 2 unit

   Height = 5 $\frac{1}{2}$  = 5 + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{11}{2}$ unit

Let the volume of box  = V unit³

∵ The shape of box is similar to the shape of cuboid

So,  volume of box = Length × width × Height

Or, V  = 3 unit × 2 unit ×  $\frac{11}{2}$ unit

∴    V = 3 × 11 = 33 unit³

Hence The volume of packing box is 33 unit³  Answer
