Question

Kate wants to fill her triangular container with orange juice. The measurements of her container are: base = 10 cm, height = 10 cm, and length = 20 cm. Is Kate's container large enough to hold 2 liters of juice? Explain your answer. (1 liter = 1,000 cubic centimeters).

Answer 1

V = lw(1/2)h
V = (10)(20)(1/2)(10)
V = 1000.
No, since 1000 cubic cm equals only 1 liter, only 1 liter will fit.
