Complete question is;
Justin has a crate that is 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet tall. Decide whether
each of the crate sizes described below has the same volume as Justin’s crate.
a. 9 feet long, 1 foot wide, 4 feet tall
b. 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2 feet tall
c. 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, 3 feet tall
d. 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, 3 feet tall
e. 6 feet long, 2 feet wide, 4 feet tall Answer:
Options C & E have the same volume as Justin's crate.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told Justin has a crate that is 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 3 feet tall.
Thus, original volume is;
V_o = 8 × 2 × 3 = 48 ft³
A) For a dimension of 9 feet long, 1 foot wide, 4 feet tall
, volume is;
V_a = 9 × 1 × 4 = 36 ft³
B) For a dimension of 8 feet long, 2 feet wide, 2 feet tall, volume is;
V_b = 8 × 2 × 2 = 32 ft³
C) For a dimension of 4 feet long, 4 feet wide, 3 feet tall, volume is;
V_c = 4 × 4 × 3 = 48 ft³
D) For a dimension of 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, 3 feet tall, volume is;
V_d = 8 × 3 × 3 = 72 ft³
E) For a dimension of 6 feet long, 2 feet wide, 4 feet tall, volume is;
V_e = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48 ft³
Looking at all the options, the only ones that given a volume equal to Justin's original volume are options C & E.
