Answer 1

All three answers apply.

Explanation:

A) 2 cm long, 5 cm wide, 8 cm high

2 cm x 5 cm x 8 cm

10 cm x 8 cm = 80
`cm^(3)`

B) 4 cm long, 5 cm wide, 4 cm high

4 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm

20 cm x 4 cm = 80
`cm^(3)`

C) 10 cm long, 4 cm wide, 2 cm high

10 cm x 4 cm x 2 cm

40 cm x 2 cm = 80
`cm^(3)`

Answer 2

C

length= 10 cm
width= 4 cm
height= 2 cm

10*4= 40
40*2= 80
