I think it’s 36 square feet
Question Correction
Evelyn packed this box with 1 inch cubes. Which expression does not show how Evelyn can find the volume of the box?
- (A)6+6+6+6+6+6
- (B) 2 X 3 X 6
- (C) 2 + 3 + 6
- (D) 6 X 6
Answer:
(C) 2 + 3 + 6
Step-By-Step Explanation
In the diagram,
- Height = 6 Units
- Length =2 Units
- Width =3 Units
Volume = Height X Length X Width
= 6 X 2 X 3
=36 cubic units
Consider the options:
(A)6+6+6+6+6+6 =36 cubic units
(B) 2 X 3 X 6 =36 cubic units
(C) 2 + 3 + 6 = 11 cubic units
(D) 6 X 6 =36 cubic units
Out of the option, that which is not equivalent to 36 cubic units is:
(C) 2+3+6
Therefore, it does not show how Evelyn can find the volume of the box.
The answers are - 5x+8y and 5(4)+2(8)=36
Explanation
To solve the equation, you would substitute x and y for 5 and 8.
-Ex: 5(4)+8(2)=36
The numbers in the parentheses get multiplied by the numbers on the outside. Making ‘5(4)’=20 and ‘8(2)’=16
So 5(4)+8(2)=36
The answer is it forms a rectangle. Hope this helps!
