Answer 1

78 ft cubed

Explanation:

First calculate the volume of the toys...

5 x 3 x 2 = 30

Now the book boxes...

6 x 4 x 2 = 48

30 + 48 = 78

The combined volume should be 78 feet cubed! hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

78 ft³

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism = length × width × height

Toy Box

• length = 5 ft
• width = 3 ft
• height = 2ft

⇒ volume = 5 × 3 × 2 = 30 ft³

Book Box

• length = 6 ft
• width = 4 ft
• height = 2 ft

⇒ volume = 6 × 4 × 2 = 48 ft³

Total combined volume = 30 + 48 = 78 ft³
