Thus volume is 100 cubic inches

Option B

Container with the dimensions 3 by 4 by 10 inches

Therefore, volume is given as:

$Volume = 3 \times 4 \times 10 = 120$

Thus volume is 120 cubic inches

Option C

Container with the dimensions 3 by 5 by 10 inches

Therefore, volume is given as:

$Volume = 3 \times 5 \times 10 = 150$

Thus volume is 150 cubic inches
