Fridge is 2 x 3 x 6 ft and is a rectangular prism. Will it fit in a space dat is 35 cubic feet?

1 answer

To determine if the fridge will fit in a space that's 35 cubic feet, we need to calculate the volume of the fridge.

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula:

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

For your fridge, the dimensions are 2 ft (length) x 3 ft (width) x 6 ft (height):

\[ V = 2 , \text{ft} \times 3 , \text{ft} \times 6 , \text{ft} = 36 , \text{cubic feet} \]

Now, we can compare the volume of the fridge to the available space:

  • Volume of fridge: 36 cubic feet
  • Available space: 35 cubic feet

Since 36 cubic feet is greater than 35 cubic feet, the fridge will not fit in the space.
