Question

Ben has two boxes. The red box has a volume of 46 cubic feet. The blue box has a height of 3 feet, a length of 7 feet, and a width of 4 feet. How much greater is the blue box than the red box?

Answer 1

The blue box is 38 cubic feet grater than the red box.

Explanation:

Cuboid:

• It is a three dimensional shape.
• It has 6 faces.
• The surface area of a cuboid is = 2(lb+bh+lh), where l = length, b= width, h= height.
• The volume of a cuboid is = l×b×h

Given that,

Ben has two boxes.

The volume of the red box is 46 cubic feet.

The dimensions of the blue box is 7 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet.

The volume of the blue box is = length ×width × height

=(7×4×3) cubic feet

= 84 cubic feet

The blue box is (84-46) cubic feet =38 cubic feet grater than the red box.
