in. How many cubic inches of popcorn would it hold when it is full? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary
The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, the dimensions are:
Length (l) = 3.5 inches
Width (w) = 2 inches
Height (h) = 1.5 inches
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = 3.5 * 2 * 1.5
V = 10.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the popcorn box would hold 10.5 cubic inches of popcorn when it is full.
