First, we need to find the area of the base of the shoebox, which is the length multiplied by the width:
B = l x w
B = 1.5 ft x 0.75 ft
B = 1.125 ft
Next, we can calculate the volume of the shoebox by multiplying the base area by the height:
V = B x h
V = 1.125 ft x 0.5 ft
V = 0.5625 cubic feet
Therefore, the volume of the shoebox is 0.5625 cubic feet.
What is the volume of a shoebox that is 1 1/2 ft. long, 3/4 ft. wide, and 1/2 ft. tall? Apply the V=B×h formula to solve.
