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. $168\ in^3$

Step-by-step 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 :-

$V=4.1\times5.9\times7.2\approx4\times6\times7...\text{[Round off to the nearest ones]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=168\ in^3$

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