To find the volume of the storage bench, you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]
Given the dimensions of the bench are:
- Length = 54 inches
- Width = 17 inches
- Height = 18 inches
Now calculate the volume:
\[ \text{Volume} = 54 , \text{in} \times 17 , \text{in} \times 18 , \text{in} \]
Calculate step by step:
-
First, multiply 54 and 17: \[ 54 \times 17 = 918 \]
-
Now, multiply that result by 18: \[ 918 \times 18 = 16,524 \]
Therefore, the volume of the storage bench is:
\[ 16,524 , \text{in}^3 \]
So the correct response is 16,524 in. cubed.
