To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]
Given the dimensions of the popcorn box:
- Length = 9 inches
- Width = 4 inches
- Height = 12 inches
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = 9 , \text{inches} \times 4 , \text{inches} \times 12 , \text{inches} \]
Calculating step-by-step:
-
First, calculate \(9 \times 4\): \[ 9 \times 4 = 36 , \text{square inches} \]
-
Next, multiply that result by 12: \[ 36 , \text{square inches} \times 12 , \text{inches} = 432 , \text{cubic inches} \]
Therefore, the volume of popcorn the box can hold is \(432\) cubic inches.
