A large gift box is being constructed in the shape of a rectangular prism. The base area is 15 feet squared and the height is 5 feet. What will the volume of the gift box be?

Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, the base area is given as 15 square feet, and the height is given as 5 feet. Plugging these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 15 , \text{ft}^2 \times 5 , \text{ft} = 75 , \text{ft}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the gift box will be \( 75 , \text{cubic feet} \).
