Question

Three boxes are shipped on a truck. Each box has a base of 16 square feet. Two of the boxes have a height of 3 feet and one box has a height of 5 feet. What is the total volume, in cubic feet, of the three boxes?

Answer 1

176 cubic feet

Explanation:

volume of each box is given by area of base * height.

Volume of Box 1 = 16 * 3 = 48

Volume of Box 2 = 16 * 3 = 48

Volume of Box 3 = 16 * 5 = 80

Total Volume = 48 + 48 + 80 = 176 ft^3
