Question

A packing box has the dimensions 3 by 2 by 5 1/2
What is the volume of the box?
feet.

Answer 1

The volume of packing box is 33 unit³

Explanation:

Given as :

The dimension of packing box are 3 by 2 by 5
`(1)/(2)`

I.e Length = 3 unit

Width = 2 unit

Height = 5
`(1)/(2)` = 5 +
`(1)/(2)` =
`(11)/(2)` unit

Let the volume of box = V unit³

∵ The shape of box is similar to the shape of cuboid

So, volume of box = Length × width × Height

Or, V = 3 unit × 2 unit ×
`(11)/(2)` unit

∴ V = 3 × 11 = 33 unit³

Hence The volume of packing box is 33 unit³ Answer
