Answer 1

Given Information:

Number of boxes = 3

Length of boxes = L = 12 inches

Width of boxes = W = 10 inches

Height of boxes = H = 12 inches

Required Information:

Volume of items boxes can hold = ?

Answer:

$Volume = 4320 \: in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Luke bought 3 canvas boxes to store his papers.

We are also provided the dimensions of boxes.

We are asked to find out the volume of items that can be stored by these 3 canva boxes.

A canva box has shape of a rectangular prism and its volume is given by

$Volume = L \times W \times H$

Where L is the length of the box, W is the width, and H is the height of box.

$Volume = 12 \times 10 \times 12 \\\\Volume = 1440 \: in^{3}$

So the volume of 3 boxes is

$Volume = 3\times 1440 \\\\Volume = 4320 \: in^{3}$

Therefore, the 3 canva boxes can store 4320 cubic inches of volume.
