Question

A paper recycling bin has the dimensions shown.use the expression s3 where s represents the length of a side to find the volume of the bin. write your answer in cubic meters.

Answer 1

I found a similar problem with its corresponding figure. It shows a recycling bin whose length is 1/2 meters, width is 1/2 meters, and height is 1/2 meters.

Based on the measure, the bin is a cube. Its volume formula is s³.

V = (1/2 m)³
V = 1/2 m * 1/2 m * 1/2 m
V = 1/8 m³

V = 0.5 m * 0.5m * 0.5m = 0.125 m³
0.125m³ =  1/8 m³

The volume of the paper recycling bin is 1/8 m³ or 0.125m³
