Question

Hollis put a layer of boxes in the bottom of a container. Each box has a volume of 1 cubic foot. The base layer of boxes in the container in shown. Hollis will need 8 of these layers to completely fill the container. What is the volume of the container in cubic feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

288 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The volume of each box is 1 cubic foot

And, Hollies required 8 of these layers

Now based on the above information

We assume that the dimension of the base layer is 6 by 6

So, the volume of the container is

= Length × Width × Height

where,

Length = 6 ft

Width = 6 ft

And, Height = 8 ft

So,

= 6 ft × 6 ft × 8 ft

= 288 ft³
