Answer 1

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").
