Use the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism to calculate the volume of a box with dimensions 5 ft.× 2 yd.×16 in.
Responses:
160 feet cubed
160 in cubed
69,120 ft cubed
69,120 in.3
To calculate the volume of the box, we need to convert all the dimensions to the same unit. Let's convert inches to feet first.
5 ft. = 5 ft.
2 yd. = 6 ft. (1 yard = 3 feet)
16 in. = 16/12 ft. = 1.33 ft.
Now, we can calculate the volume of the box using the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 5 ft. x 6 ft. x 1.33 ft.
Volume = 39.9 ft.³
Therefore, the volume of the box is 39.9 ft.³.
