Question

A packing company makes boxes with edges each measuring 3 feet. What is the volume of the boxes? If 10 boxes are put in a larger, rectangular shipping container and completely fill it with no gaps or overlaps, what is the volume of the shipping container?

Answer 1

basic geometry. the formula for volume of any prism especially a box is length times width times height. in this case all the L the W and the H equal 3. so
3*3*3=27 feet cubed. now, multiply that by ten since you will have ten boxes stacked near each other. 27*10=270 feet cubed
