Question

A right rectangular box of corn flakes has a square base with sides that measure 5 inches in length and a height of 15 inches. What is the maximum volume of corn flakes this box can hold?
A. 375 in. 3
B. 210 in. 3
C. 150 in. 3
D. 400 in. 3

Answer 1

Maximum volume of cornflakes that the box can hold is 375 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Given the rectangular box is right angled, then it is a cuboid. Volume of the cuboid = length × width × height (Here, length and width are the same since it has a square base)

⇒ Volume = 5 × 5 × 15 = 375 in³
