Question

Soham's video game system measures 8 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches tall. Sean's video game system measures 1 inch longer on all sides. What is the combined volume of the two game systems?

Answer 1

Answer:

Combined volume of the two game systems  $=416$ cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height

Soham's video game system measures 8 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 2 inches tall.

So,

Volume of Soham's video game system = 8 × 6 × 2 = $96$ cubic inches

As Sean's video game system measures 1 inch longer on all sides,

the video game system measures $8+2=10$ inches long, $6+2=8$ inches wide, and $2+2=4$ inches tall.

Volume of the video game system = 10 × 8 × 4 = $320$ cubic inches.

Therefore,

Combined volume of the two game systems = $96+320=416$ cubic inches
