Question

3. A shipping crate that is shaped like a rectangular

prism is 2.5 feet wide, 2 feet long, and has a height
of 4 feet. What is the volume of the shipping crate?
A. 20 ft
B. 10 ft
C. 8.5 ft
D. None of these

Answer 1

A. 20 ft

Explanation:

The volume of a right solid such as a rectangular shipping crate is found by multiplying the area of its base by its height. The area of this shipping crate is its length multiplied by its width = 2.5 x 2 = 5 feet. Now, we multiply the area of the base (5) by the height (4) to get 20 feet.
