Dale joins three of his friends at the movies. They decide to share a jumbo box of popcorn to save money. A jumbo box is twelve inches on all sides. What is the volume of a jumbo box of popcorn?
The volume of a cube (like a jumbo box of popcorn) is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. In this case, all three dimensions are 12 inches:
Volume = 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches
Volume = 1,728 cubic inches
So the volume of a jumbo box of popcorn is 1,728 cubic inches.
To find the volume of a rectangular box, we multiply its length, width, and height. In this case, the length, width, and height of the jumbo box of popcorn are all twelve inches.
The formula for the volume of a rectangular box is:
Volume = Length * Width * Height
Substituting the values we have:
Volume = 12 inches * 12 inches * 12 inches
Volume = 1728 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of a jumbo box of popcorn is 1728 cubic inches.
