How would you show the work for this. Bills locker is 30 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 14 inches deep. If his books take up 1,545 in. of space, how much space does he have left to hang his coat and bookbag? Thank you
Calculate volume of locker
V=L*W*H
Calculate volume of books (given)
B=1545 in³
Calculate volume left
=V-B
Would it be 2,655
Yes, 2655 in³.
To calculate the space Bill has left in his locker, we need to subtract the space used by his books from the total volume of his locker.
The total volume of Bill's locker can be calculated by multiplying the height, width, and depth:
Volume = Height x Width x Depth
Given the dimensions:
Height = 30 inches
Width = 10 inches
Depth = 14 inches
Substituting the values:
Volume = 30 inches x 10 inches x 14 inches
Volume = 4,200 cubic inches
Now that we know the total volume of Bill's locker, we can subtract the space taken up by his books:
Space left = Total volume - Space used by books
Space left = 4,200 cubic inches - 1,545 cubic inches
Space left = 2,655 cubic inches
Therefore, Bill has 2,655 cubic inches of space left in his locker to hang his coat and bookbag.
