a shoe box measures 12.0 inches by 5.5 inches by 3.5 inches. calculate its volume in cubic centimeters.
I would convert 12.0 inches to cm, 5.5 inches to cm and 3.5 inches to cm, then lxwxh = volume in cc.
Alternatively you can multiply 12.0 x 5.5 x 3.5 and obtain cubic inches, then convert by multiplying by the factor (2.54)^3.
To calculate the volume of the shoe box in cubic centimeters, you need to convert the measurements from inches to centimeters.
1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters, so:
Length in centimeters = 12.0 inches × 2.54 cm/inch = 30.48 cm
Width in centimeters = 5.5 inches × 2.54 cm/inch = 13.97 cm
Height in centimeters = 3.5 inches × 2.54 cm/inch = 8.89 cm
Now, you can calculate the volume of the shoe box by multiplying the length, width, and height:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Volume = 30.48 cm × 13.97 cm × 8.89 cm
To find the volume in cubic centimeters, calculate the product:
Volume = 4077.213992 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the shoe box is approximately 4077.21 cubic centimeters.
To calculate the volume of the shoe box in cubic centimeters, we need to convert the dimensions from inches to centimeters and then multiply them together.
First, let's convert the dimensions from inches to centimeters.
1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.
So, the length of the shoe box in centimeters is 12.0 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 30.48 cm.
The width of the shoe box in centimeters is 5.5 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 13.97 cm.
The height of the shoe box in centimeters is 3.5 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 8.89 cm.
Now that we have the dimensions in centimeters, we can calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and height together.
Volume = length * width * height
= 30.48 cm * 13.97 cm * 8.89 cm
= 3929.7976 cm³.
Therefore, the volume of the shoe box is approximately 3929.8 cubic centimeters.
