To find the volume of a right rectangular prism (which is the shape of the container), you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

In this case, the dimensions of the container are given as:

  • Length = 7.5 feet
  • Width = 5 feet
  • Height = 3 feet

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Volume} = 7.5 , \text{ft} \times 5 , \text{ft} \times 3 , \text{ft} \]

Calculating this step-by-step:

  1. \(7.5 \times 5 = 37.5\)
  2. \(37.5 \times 3 = 112.5\)

Therefore, the volume of the container is:

\[ \text{Volume} = 112.5 , \text{ft}^3 \]

The correct response is:

112.5 ft.³ (or "112.5 feet cubed").
