<u>No, since the volume of the passenger's luggage ( 45,080 cm³) exceeds the allotted volume for carry-on luggages (40,000 cm³).</u>

Explanation:

<h2>Given:</h2>

Acceptable volume = 40,000 cm³

Area of luggage = 1,960 cm²

Height of luggage = 23 cm

<h2>Question:</h2>

Is the passenger's luggeage ok to carry onto the airplane

<h2>Equation:</h2>

V = l x w x h

or we can use

V = A x h

Since A = l x w

where: V - volume

A - area

l - length

w - width

h - height

<h2>Solution:</h2>

V = A x h

V = ( 1,960 cm²)(23 cm)

V = 45,080 cm³

45,080 cm³ is greater than the acceptable volume 40,000 cm³

<h2>Final Answer:</h2><h3><u>No, since the volume of the passenger's luggage ( 45,080 cm³) exceeds the allotted volume for carry-on luggages (40,000 cm³).</u></h3><h3 />
