Question

Help would really be appreciated :) A box of a truck has dimensions 1m by 2m by 4m. Explain how this truck was able to carry 9m cubed of sand?
(I'm in the volume unit & will give brainliest)

Answer 1

Answer:

The truck will be able to carry 9m because the volume is 8m.

Step-by-step explanation: The questions give the demensions, so you have to multipy it. 1x2x4 is 8. So it would be able to carry 9m of sand.

Answer 2

Answer:

The shape of the box of the truck is a rectangular prism.

volume = length * width * height

volume = 4 m * 2 m * 1 m = 8 m^3

The volume of the box of the truck is 8 m^3.

One way it can carry more than that volume is if it does not have a roof. Then 8 m^3 can be loaded up to the height of the box, and an extra 1 m^3 can by on top of that, above the sides of the box.

Another way is, if it does have a roof, to fill the inside of the box with 8 m^3 and place an extra 1 m^3 on top of the roof of the box.
