Question

Juan has a box that is filled with toys. The box is 3 1/2 feet long,6 feet wide ,and 3 feet high. What is the volume and surface area of a box.

Answer 1

The volume is 31.5ft^2

Answer 2

Volume = Length x Base x Height
Volume = 3.5 x 6 x 3 = 63 ft^3

Surface Area (if we're talking about a closed box and only talking about the outside area) = ∑Areas of the sides
Surface Area = 3.5 x 6 + 3.5 x 6 + 6 x 3 + 6 x 3 + 3.5 x 3 + 3.5 x 3 = 99 ft^2
