Question

A rectangular box has the following dimensions on the inside: 5 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm. What volume can the box hold, in milliliters?

- 20 mL
- 259 mL
- 25 mL
- 50 mL

Answer 1

The volume in milliliters is 250mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangle is obtained using the equation:

Volume = Length * Width * Height

In the problem, we can take length as 5cm, width as 5cm and height as 10cm. Thus, volume of the rectangular box is:

Volume = 5cm * 5cm * 10cm

Volume = 250cm³

1mL = 1cm³.

That means the volume in milliliters is 250mL
