Question

A box has dimensions of 4.1 inches, 5.9 inches, and 7.2 inches. Estimate the volume of the solid.

A) 17 in3
B) 17 in2
C) 168 in3
D) 168 in2

Answer 1

Volume = length * width * height

Volume = 4.1 * 5.9 * 7.2 ≈ 4 * 6 * 7 = 168

Volume ≈ 168 in³

(C)

Answer 2

Answer: C.
`168\ in^3`

Explanation:

Given: The dimensions of a box are 4.1 inches, 5.9 inches, and 7.2 inches.

We know that the volume of a cuboid is given by :-

`V=length*width*height`

Thus, volume of given box is given by :-

`V=4.1*5.9*7.2\approx4*6*7...\text{[Round off to the nearest ones]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=168\ in^3`

Hence, the estimated volume of the box =
`168\ in^3`
