To calculate the volume of the box, you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}
\]
Given:
- Length = 3 feet
- Width = 312 feet
- Height = 2 14 feet
First, let's convert the height from mixed number form to an improper decimal:
- The height in mixed number is \(2 \frac{1}{4}\).
- This can be converted to decimal as follows:
- \(2 = 2.00\)
- \(\frac{1}{4} = 0.25\)
So,
\[
\text{Height} = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 \text{ feet}
\]
Now we can calculate the volume:
\[
\text{Volume} = 3 \, \text{feet} \times 312 \, \text{feet} \times 2.25 \, \text{feet}
\]
Calculating step by step:
1. First, multiply the length and width:
\[
3 \times 312 = 936 \, \text{square feet}
\]
2. Now multiply this result by the height:
\[
936 \times 2.25 = 2106 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]
Thus, the volume of the box is **2106 cubic feet**. If we follow the provided choices for responses, it seems none of them present this value, indicating a potential mismatch in the problem's parameters or options given.
