18 inches, a depth of 15 inches, and a width of 10 inches.


1. What is the volume of the Carry-On Baggage Check Box?

2. What is the volume of the leather bag?

3. What is the volume of the canvas bag?

4. Which bag will denitely t into the Check Box? Explain.

Answer 1

Explanation:

guessing

volume is always unit cubed

so in this case inches cubed or in^3

so multiply all 3 numbers

carry on is 22×14x9= 2772 in^3

leather is 18×12×8 = 1728 in^3

canvas is 18×15×10 = 2700 in^3 but the depth in ge's canvas 15" in larger than the carry on checklist

so

the leather will definitely fit
