Question

Many round candies come in boxes. A boxis diagramed below. What shape is the box?What is the volumecapacity of the box?

Answer 1

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 = 1.125in³
