Question

Cereal box has a height of 32 cm. It has a base with an area of 160 square centimeters. What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the cereal box.

Answer 1

A cereal box is basically a rectangular prism. The volume formula for a rectangular prism is:
`V=wlh`
where

`V` is the volume of the rectangular prism

`w` is the width

`l` is the length

`h` is the height

Notice that for our formula we can infer the the base of the prime will have area
`width` times
`length`. Since we already know the area of our rectangular prism
`(160cm^(2))`, the only thing we need to do is multiply that area by the
`height`:

`V=(160cm^(2))(32cm)`

`V=5120cm^(3)`

We can conclude that the volume of the cereal box in cubic centimeters is
`5120cm^(3)`.
