To find the volume of the shoebox, we can use the formula V = B x h, where V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height.
First, we need to find the area of the base. Since the base is a rectangle, the area is length x width.
Length = 1 1/2 ft = 3/2 ft
Width = 3/4 ft
Area of base = (3/2 ft) * (3/4 ft) = 9/8 ft²
Next, we multiply the area of the base by the height of the shoebox to find the volume.
Volume = (9/8 ft²) * (1/2 ft)
Volume = 9/16 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the shoebox is 9/16 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 x h formula to solve.
