To find the volume of the pasta box, we can use the formula \( V = B \times h \), where \( B \) is the area of the base and \( h \) is the height.
-
First, we need to calculate the area of the base \( B \). The base is rectangular, so:
\[ B = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 212 , \text{in} \times 12 , \text{in} \]
\[ B = 2544 , \text{in}^2 \]
-
Now we apply the height (which is the height of the box) to find the volume:
\[ V = B \times h = 2544 , \text{in}^2 \times 8 , \text{in} \]
\[ V = 20352 , \text{in}^3 \]
It seems the responses you provided do not include this value. Please double-check the numbers or the options, as the calculated volume of the box is \( 20352 , \text{in}^3 \).
