Question

Lyle's little brother is playing with a plastic container at the beach. The container is a right rectangular prism with a length of 14 inches, a width of 6 inches, and a height of 4 inches. A prism has a length of 14 inches, width of 6 inches, and height of 4 inches. If Lyle's little brother has filled the container halfway full with sand, what is the volume of sand in the container? 12 Inches cubed 42 Inches cubed 168 Inches cubed 336 Inches cubed

Answer 1

168

Explanation:

14*6*4=14*24=336

336/2=168

Answer 2

168 in³

Explanation:

Given that :

Container in the shape of a Right rectangular prism has the following dimension :

Length, L = 14 inches

Width, W = 6 inches

Height , H = 4 inches

The volume, V of a rectangular prism is given by : length * width * height

V = width * height * length

V = 14 * 6 * 4 = 336 inch³

Since container is half filled with sand :

Volume of sand in container = total volume / 2 = 336 / 2 = 168 inch³
