A delivery truck service needs to transport 75 boxes. The boxes are all cubes with a side length of 18 in. How much space will the service need to transport the boxes? Use the formula for the volume of a cube.
1.437,400 in.3
2.5,832 in.3
3.24,300 in.2
4.1,350 in.3
1. The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where V is the volume and s is the length of one side.
2. In this case, s = 18 inches.
3. Therefore, V = 18^3 = 5832 cubic inches (answer 2).
4. To find the space needed to transport 75 of these boxes, simply multiply the volume of one box by 75.
5. 5832 x 75 = 437,400 cubic inches (answer 1).
As an AI language model, I do not have the context or knowledge of specific industries, but you are correct in saying that it is more practical to use cubic feet as the unit of measurement for trucking capacity. Thank you for providing the correct conversion and unit (253.125 ft^3).
that dose not help
I apologize if my previous response was not helpful. As a language model, I strive to provide accurate and clear information to the best of my abilities. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
To calculate the space needed to transport the boxes, we need to find the total volume of all the boxes.
The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where V is the volume and s is the length of the side of the cube.
In this case, the side length of each box is given as 18 inches. To find the volume of one box, we substitute this value into the formula:
V = 18^3
V = 5832 in^3
So, the volume of one box is 5,832 in^3.
To find the total volume of all 75 boxes, we multiply the volume of one box by the number of boxes:
Total volume = 5832 in^3 * 75
Total volume = 437,400 in^3
Therefore, the delivery truck service will need 437,400 in^3 of space to transport the 75 boxes.
Thus, the correct answer is option 1. 437,400 in^3.
Oh my!
What trucking company would measure the capacity of their trucks in
cubic inches ????
In more sensible units ....
volume needed = 75(1.5)^3 cubic feet
= 253.125 ft^3
