The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, the dimensions are:
Length (l) = 3.5 inches
Width (w) = 2 inches
Height (h) = 1.5 inches
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = 3.5 * 2 * 1.5
V = 10.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the popcorn box would hold 10.5 cubic inches of popcorn when it is full.
In this case, the dimensions are:
Length (l) = 3.5 inches

Height (h) = 1.5 inches
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = 3.5 * 2 * 1.5
V = 10.5 cubic inches
Therefore, the popcorn box would hold 10.5 cubic inches of popcorn when it is full.

Yes, since the original dimensions were given to whole numbers and the calculation was done using those values, the answer is already rounded to the nearest tenth. So the box would hold 10.5 cubic inches of popcorn when it is full.
