Question

What is the volume of a shipping cube with dimensions of 2 and 1/2 feet

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a cube is given by:

`V = l ^ 3`

Where:

l: It's the side of the cube

According to the statement data:

`l = 2 \frac {1} {2} = \frac {2 * 2 + 1} {2} = \frac {5} {2}`

Substituting in the formula we have:

`V = (\frac {5} {2}) ^ 3\\V = \frac {5 ^ 3} {2 ^ 3}\\V = \frac {125} {8}\\V = 15.625`

Thus, the shipping cube volume is
`15.625 \ ft ^ 3`

Answer:

`15.625 \ ft ^ 3`
