Question

Marcia began finding the volume of the box. Her work is shown below. B = 5 (4) = 20 inches squared A prism has length of 5 inches, height of 7 inches, and width of 4 inches. Using Marcia’s work as a starting point, what is the volume of the box

Answer 1

140 in^3

Explanation:

The volume formula can be written as ...

A = Bh

Marcia found B = 20 in^2, so we can use that in the formula, along with h = 7 in.

A = (20 in^2)(7 in)

A = 140 in^3

The volume of the box is 140 cubic inches.
