Solution

Given data

Length = 1.25 in

Width = 2 in

Height = 0.45in

Required: To find the volume.

Step 1

The net can be transformed into a rectangular prism or a cuboid. Therefore, the shape is that of a rectangular prism or cuboid.

Step 2

Write the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism.


\text{The volume of a rectangular prism or cuboid (V) = Length}* Width*\text{Height}

Step 3

Substitute in the values and find the volume of the cuboid.


V\text{ = 2}*0.45*1.25=1.125in^3

Hence, the volume capacity of the box = 1.125inĀ³
