D) 146.02 cubic inches

Answer 1

The volume of the rectangular pan is approximately 146.018 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pan can be found using the formula V = length x width x height. In this case, the length is 10.50 inches, the width is 5.0350 inches, and the height is 2.57 inches.

So, the volume is calculated as V = 10.50 inches x 5.0350 inches x 2.57 inches = 136.14 cubic inches.

Rounding the answer to the correct significant figures, the volume of the pan is approximately 146.018 cubic inches (option B).
