Question

What is the volume of this container

Answer 1

Answer: 56in^3

Explanation: Divide the figure into two separate prisms, then add. One way to do this is:

Figure 1: 2*4*4 = 32
Figure 2: 2*3*4 = 24

Once you add, you get 56 inches^3. It’s cubed (^3) because we are dealing with three dimensions, not two (^2).
