What is the volume of a pasta box that is 2 1/2 in. long, 8 1/2 in. tall, and 1/2 in. wide?
Apply the V = B x h formula to solve. (1 point)
The volume of the pasta box can be calculated using the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
First, we need to find the area of the base (B). The base of the pasta box is a rectangle with dimensions 2 1/2 in. long and 1/2 in. wide. So, the area of the base is:
B = length x width
B = (2 1/2) x (1/2)
B = 5/2 x 1/2
B = 5/4 square inches
Next, we need to find the height (h) of the pasta box, which is 8 1/2 in.
Now, we can calculate the volume of the pasta box:
V = B x h
V = 5/4 x 8 1/2
V = 5/4 x 17/2
V = 85/8 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 85/8 cubic inches.
