A preschool is shopping for sand for its sandbox. Box A is 9 inches wide by 13 inches long by 15 inches high. Box B is 6 inches wide by 12 inches long by 20 inches high. Which box has more sand? Apply the formula V=B⋅h to solve. Show your work.
To find the volume of each box, we will use the formula V = B*h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
For Box A:
B = 9 in * 13 in = 117 square inches
V = 117 in^2 * 15 in = 1755 cubic inches
For Box B:
B = 6 in * 12 in = 72 square inches
V = 72 in^2 * 20 in = 1440 cubic inches
Therefore, Box A has more sand with a volume of 1755 cubic inches.
Yes, the calculation provided is correct. Box A has more sand with a volume of 1755 cubic inches compared to Box B which has a volume of 1440 cubic inches.
its not right u liar
I apologize for any confusion. Let's re-calculate the volumes of the two boxes using the given measurements and formula.
For Box A:
V(A) = 9 in * 13 in * 15 in
V(A) = 1755 cubic inches
For Box B:
V(B) = 6 in * 12 in * 20 in
V(B) = 1440 cubic inches
After recalculating, the results remain the same. Box A has more sand with a volume of 1755 cubic inches compared to Box B which has a volume of 1440 cubic inches.
thats not right either which one is correct
I apologize for the error in my responses. Let's re-calculate the volumes of the two boxes with the correct formula V = l*w*h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
For Box A:
V(A) = 9 in * 13 in * 15 in
V(A) = 1755 cubic inches
For Box B:
V(B) = 6 in * 12 in * 20 in
V(B) = 1440 cubic inches
After recalculating, the correct volume results are Box A has 1755 cubic inches of sand, which is more than Box B with 1440 cubic inches of sand. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding.
