Question

A box is measured 2 1/4 feet long, 1 3/4 feet wide, and 2 1/2 feet tall. What is the volume of the box?

A. 11.25 cubic feet
B. 6.75 cubic feet
C. 7.5 cubic feet
D. 15.0 cubic feet

Answer 1

The volume of the box is approximately 8.83 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a box, we multiply its length, width, and height. Using the measurements given, we have:

Length = 2 1/4 feet = 2.25 feet

Width = 1 3/4 feet = 1.75 feet

Height = 2 1/2 feet = 2.5 feet

Volume = Length x Width x Height

V = 2.25 ft x 1.75 ft x 2.5 ft

Simplifying, we get:

V = 8.828125 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the box is approximately 8.83 cubic feet.
