Question

Which is the volume of an object that is 1.5 feet high, 4 feet deep, and 2 feet long? Select one of the options below as your answer:

a. 12 ft3
b. 6 ft3
c. 24 ft3

Answer 1

Volume = (area of base)height

volume = (1.5 * 4)2

volume = 6 *2

volume = 12

12 ft^3

Answer 2

To answer the problem above, I assumed the object to be a rectangular prisms. To solve for the volume of such figures, multiply all three dimensions. This is mathematically expressed as,

V = H x D x L

V = (1.5 ft) x (4 ft) x (2 ft) = 12 ft^3

The volume of the object is 12 ft^3. Thus, the answer is letter A.
