Question

What is the volume of this container?

Answer 1

Answer:

504 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a rectangular prism and the volume formula is v = l * h * w

so now

v = l*w*h

v= 6*8*12

v = 576 inch³

that's not the answer, that's the volume for whole thing but there is a gap and we have to subtract it from the whole volume. you can look at the option and say it's 504 inch³ from common sense. here is the work:

the gap has 2 inch length, 6 inch width and 6 in height.

v = l*h*w

v = 6 * 2 * 6

v= 72 inch

now subtract the gap volume from total volume so

576 - 72 = 504 in³
