To determine if the fridge will fit in a space that is 35 cubic feet, you first need to calculate the volume of the fridge.
The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, the dimensions of the fridge are:
- Length = 6 ft
- Width = 3 ft
- Height = 2 ft
Now calculate the volume:
\[
V = 6 \, \text{ft} \times 3 \, \text{ft} \times 2 \, \text{ft} = 36 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]
The volume of the fridge is 36 cubic feet. Since 36 cubic feet is greater than the available space of 35 cubic feet, the fridge will not fit in that space.
