Question

a. What is the volume, in cubic feet, of the box in the diagram?

b. How many of these boxes can fit in the cargo hold of the truck?

Answer 1

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The number of boxes that can fit in the cargo hold of the truck is 54.

What is volume?

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

The volume of the box = Volume of the cube = a³ = (2.50)³ = 15.625 ft³

The volume of cargo hold = 7.50 × 7.50 × 15 = 843.75 ft³

Now, the number of boxes that can fit in the cargo hold of the truck will be,

Number of boxes = (Volume of truck container)/(Volume of box)

                              = 843.75/15.625

                              = 54

Hence, the number of boxes that can fit in the cargo hold of the truck is 54.

Answer 2

What is volume of the box in diagram (in cubic ft.)

• a = 2.5ft.

Volume of cube = a³

putting the value of a

Volume = (2.5ft.)³

Volume = 15.625 ft³

To find how many such boxes can be fit into the truck , we need to first find the volume of cargo hold of the truck and then divide it by the volume of 1 box

Volume of Cargo hold of truck =

= 15ft. × 7.5ft. × 7.5ft

= 843.75 ft³

No. of boxes that can be fit into the truck =

Volume of truck/ Volume of one box

= 843.75ft.3³/15.625ft.³

= 54 boxes
