What is the volume of the purse?
A.
986.7 cm3
B.
807.3 cm3
C.
767 cm3
D.
897 cm3

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular box, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]

Given:
- Length = 13 cm
- Width = 6.9 cm
- Height = 10 cm

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Volume} = 13 \, \text{cm} \times 6.9 \, \text{cm} \times 10 \, \text{cm}
\]

First, calculate \( 13 \times 6.9 \):

\[
13 \times 6.9 = 89.7 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Now, multiply by the height (10 cm):

\[
89.7 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 10 \, \text{cm} = 897 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the purse is:

**D. 897 cm³**
