A box to hold pencils measures 5.8 inches by 5 inches by 4 inches high. Find the volume of the box.
V = lwh
V = 5.8 * 5 * 4
V = ? cubic inches
To find the volume of the box, we need to multiply its length, width, and height. In this case, the length is 5.8 inches, the width is 5 inches, and the height is 4 inches.
So, the volume (V) can be calculated as follows:
V = length × width × height
V = 5.8 in × 5 in × 4 in
To perform the calculation, we multiply the numerical values first:
V = 29 in² × 4 in
Then, multiply the result by the remaining unit:
V = 116 in³
Therefore, the volume of the box is 116 cubic inches.
