Answer:

312 cube inches

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

The image below represents three planters that are filled with soil. Find the total volume of soil in the three planters. Planter A is 14 inches by 3 inches by 4 inches. Planter B is 9 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches.

Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

  • Planter A is 14 inches by 3 inches by 4 inches

=> the volume of planter A is:

V(A) = 14 inches * 3 inches * 4 inches

= 168 cube inches

  • Planter B is 9 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches

=> the volume of planter B is:

V(B) = 9 inches * 3 inches *3 inches

= 81 cube inches

  • As we can see in the photo, the height of planter C = 13 - 3 -3 = 7 inches

=> the volume of planter C is:

V (c) = 7 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches

= 63 cube inches

Hence, the total volume of soil in the three planters is:

V(A) + V(B) + V(C)

= 168 + 81 + 63

= 312 cube inches
