Answer:

288 ft³

Explanation:

Hollis put a layer of boxes in the bottom of the container. Each box has a volume of 1 cubic foot. The base layer of boxes in the container is shown. Hollis will need 8 of theselayers to comepletely fill the container. What is the volume of the container in cubic feet? Note: The dimensions of base layer is made of 6 by 6 cubes

The volume of the container = Length × Width × Height

Length = 6 ft

Width = 6 ft

Height = 8 ft

Volume of the container = 6 ft × 6 ft × 8 ft

= 288 ft³
