Sebastian has filled a paper grocery bag with food to donate to the food drive. If the paper bag is in the shape of a right rectangular prism with a length of 12 inches, a width of 7 inches, and a height of 17 inches, what volume of food it can hold?

Answer 1

To find volume you use the formula length×widght×height
12 × 7 × 17
Which equals 1428

Answer 2

Answer: 1428 cubic inches

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by ;-

`V=l* w* h`, where l is length , w is width and h is height of the rectangular prism.

Given : l = 12 inches, w= 7 inches , h= 17 inches

Then, the volume of the paper bag will be :-

`V=12* 7* 17\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=1428\ \text{cubic inches}`

Therefore, It can hold 1428 cubic inches of food.
