Question
Lloyd bought a refrigerator that measures 76 cm. x 76 cm. x 170 cm. to fit in a space with a volume of 975,000 cm. 3
.

Will the refrigerator fit in the space?

Yes, it will fit since it is smaller than the space.

No, it is 6,920 cm.3 too small for the space.

Yes, it will fit. It will be a bit tight, but that won't matter.

To determine if the refrigerator will fit in the given space, we need to calculate the volume of the refrigerator and compare it to the volume of the space.

Volume of the refrigerator: The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism (like the refrigerator) can be calculated using the formula: \[ V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

For the refrigerator:

  • Length = 76 cm
  • Width = 76 cm
  • Height = 170 cm

So, \[ V = 76 , \text{cm} \times 76 , \text{cm} \times 170 , \text{cm} = 76 \times 76 \times 170 = 1,020,320 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Volume of the space: The volume of the space is given as:

  • Volume of space = 975,000 cm³

Comparison:

  • Volume of the refrigerator = 1,020,320 cm³
  • Volume of the space = 975,000 cm³

Now, we compare the two volumes: 1,020,320 cm³ (refrigerator) - 975,000 cm³ (space) = 45,320 cm³

The refrigerator is too big for the space.

Thus, the correct response is: No, it is 45,320 cm³ too big for the space.
