Question

Ashley is stacking 2 boxes on a shelf. The bottom box measures 6in x 5in x 5in. The top box is a cube with one edge measuring 4 inches.

a. The total volume of both boxes is 220 cubic inches.
b. The total volume of both boxes is 280 cubic inches.
c. The total volume of both boxes is 240 cubic inches.
d. The total volume of both boxes is 260 cubic inches.

Answer 1

The total volume of both boxes is 214 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total volume of both boxes, we need to find the volumes of each box and add them together.

For the bottom box, volume = length x width x height = 6in x 5in x 5in = 150in³.

For the top box, since it is a cube, the volume is given by the formula V = edge x edge x edge = 4in x 4in x 4in = 64in³.

Therefore, the total volume of both boxes is 150in³ + 64in³ = 214in³.
