Explanation:

Answer 2

Rectangular kitchen sink of Mohit can hold 4800 cubic inches

Solution:

Given that Mohit is trying to determine how much cubic water can fit in his rectangular kitchen sink.

The square base of sink has a side length of 20 inches.

Depth of the sink is 1 foot.

Need to determine how much cubic water can sink hold.

To determine how much cubic water can sink hold , we need to determine volume of sink

Volume of sink = area of square base x depth of the sink

Area of square base =
`a^2`

Where "a" is the length of side

Here a = 20 inches

As side length of square base is in inches and dept is in foot , we need to convert foot into inches so that all the units of measurement are same.

As 1 foot = 12 inches,

=> depth of the sink = 12 inches

=Volume of sink = 20 x 20 x 12 cubic inches

=> Volume of sink = 4800 cubic inches

Hence rectangular kitchen sink of Mohit can hold 4800 cubic inches.
