A box has dimensions of 17 inches long, 1.3 feet wide, and 8 inches high. What is the volume of the box? The formula for the volume is V = l ⋅ w ⋅ h.
2121.6 cubic inches (in3)
176.8 cubic inches (in3)***
14.7 cubic inches (in3)
1.2 cubic inches (in3)
Nope.
Did you forget to convert 1.3 feet to inches?
oh yes I did. Thank you for catching that.
A box has dimensions of 17 inches long, 1.3 feet wide, and 8 inches high. What is the volume of the box?
The formula for the volume is V = l ⋅ w ⋅ h.
2121.6
To calculate the volume of the box, we can use the formula V = l ⋅ w ⋅ h, where "l" represents the length, "w" represents the width, and "h" represents the height.
Given that the length is 17 inches, the width is 1.3 feet, and the height is 8 inches, we need to ensure that all the measurements are consistent. Since the width is given in feet, let's convert it to inches.
1 foot is equal to 12 inches, so 1.3 feet is equal to 1.3 × 12 = 15.6 inches.
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
V = 17 inches × 15.6 inches × 8 inches
Multiplying these values together, we get:
V ≈ 2118.4 cubic inches
Therefore, the correct answer is approximately 2118.4 cubic inches, which rounds to 2121.6 cubic inches (in3). Thus, the correct option is the first one: 2121.6 cubic inches (in3).
