Answer 1

First your going to just add 12 inches to the dogs actual lenght because you want it to be 12 inches bigger so do 12+30 which equals 42 inches , then your going to take 12+12 because you wanted the cage to be 12 inches grater then the dogs actual width also so that is going to equal 24 then your going to add 6 to how tall the dog is which is 24 inches. So 24+6=30 so finally you need to find the volume the volume of a rectangular prism is alway BxHxW  so your total answer consits of 42x24x30 so your anwer is 30,240 inches
