Question

A dresser has a width of 6 feet, a height of 3 feet, and a depth of 2 feet. If the dresser has 6 drawers of the same size, what is the volume of the space for each drawer?

Answer 1

The volume of the space for each drawer is 6 feet^3.

Explanation:

Solve for the volume of the entire dresser.

Formula for volume of a rectangle:

Volume (v) = Length (l) × width (w) × height (h)

v = 2 × 6 × 3

v = 12 × 3

v = 36

Now divide the volume by the number of drawers.

36 ÷ 6 = 6
