Answer:

176 cubic feet

Explanation:

Three boxes are shipped on a truck.

The base of each of the three boxes is 16 square feet

Two of the boxes have a height of 3 feet

One of the box have a height of 3 feet

The first step is to calculate the volume of each boxes

Volume= height × base

First box= 16 × 3

= 48

Second box= 16 × 3

= 48

Third box= 16 × 5

= 80

Therefore the volume of the three boxes in cubic feet can be calculated as follows

= 48 + 48 + 80

= 176 cubic feet

Hence the volume of the three boxes is 176 cubic feet
