A box is 3 inches long, 5 inches wide and 5 inches tall. What is its volume?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 75 cubic inches
- Step 1: Volume = length x width x height. Step 2. 3 x 5 x 5 = 75 cubic inches. Answer: 75 cubic inches. Why not the others: 110 cubic inches: this is the surface area, not the volume. 13 cubic inches: this adds the sides instead of multiplying them. 15 cubic inches: this is only the area of the base.
