The first box is uneven so the second half me would be correct due to it being a proper size

Answer:

The second box

Explanation:

The volume of a pyramid can be given by the formula: V=31​Ah. Where. A: Area of the V=(1/3)(B)(h)

multiply both sides by 3

3V=Bh

divide both sides by B

3V/B=h

Therefore, If it is wider it has more space to carry more items such as macaroni.

I hope this helps! (:
