Question

A box has dimensions of 14 inches long, 1.5 feet wide, and 7 inches high. What is the volume of the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

V = 4480.56 cm3

Explanation:

Data Given

Length “l” = 14 inches

Hight “h” = 7 inches

Width “w” = 1.5 feet

Volume= “V”

Solution:

Formula to Use

V= l . w. h

Note: here we have to values in the same unit

So the Length “l” and Hight “h” both are in inches but the width is in feet

So we changes the feet into inches

1 foot = 12 inches

1.5 feet = 12 x 1.5

1.5 feet = 18 inches

So width is 18 inches

Now putting the values in formula

V = l . w. h

V = 14 . 18 . 7

V = 1764 inch

You can convert inches to cm

1 inch = 2.54 cm

So 1764 inches = 2.54 x 1764

1764 inches = 4480.56 cm3

So

V = 4480.56 cm3
