First, we need to count the number of boxes that we have in a layer
We can count the number of boxes fast
we count the number of boxes of the length (boxes with a red point) the length is equal to 6
then we count the number of boxes of the width (boxes with a blue point) the width is equal to 6
then we do the next operation
number of boxes = (l)x(w)=6x6=36
In total 36 boxes in one layer
We know that the volume of each box is 1 cubic foot therefore the volume of one layer, is 36 cubic foot
In order to know the volume of 8 layers (volume of the container), we need to multiply 36 cubic ft (volume of one layer) by 8
The volume of the container is
[tex]V=8\cdot36=288\text{ cubic ft}[/tex]
The answer is B
