Question

A box is being packed with cubes that measure 1 cubic foot. What is the volume of the box in cubic feet

Answer 1

Answer:

81 cubic foot

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the box is packed with cubes whose side is 1 foot. So the volume of one cube is 1 cubic foot.

Now from the figure, we can see that :

Number of cubes fitting the box across its length = 9 cubes

Number of cubes fitting the box across its width = 3 cubes

Number of cubes fitting the box across its height = 3 cubes

And each of these cubes measures 1 x 1 x 1 cubic foot

So the volume of the box can be found out by:

Volume = length x width x height

             = 9 x 3 x 3

             = 81 cubic foot

Therefore volume of the box is 81 cubic foot.
