A delivery truck service needs to transport 75 boxes. The boxes are all cubes with a side length of 18 in. How much space will the service need to transport the boxes? Use the formula for the volume of a cube.

Question

A. 437,400 in. 3
B. 1,350 in. 3
C. 24,300 in. squared
D. 5,832 in. 3

Answer 1

To find the volume of one cube, we use the formula V = s^3, where s is the side length of the cube.

V = 18^3
V = 5832 in.^3

Now, we need to find the total volume of all 75 boxes. We multiply the volume of one box by the total number of boxes.

Total volume = 5832 in.^3 * 75
Total volume = 437,400 in.^3

Therefore, the delivery service will need 437,400 in.^3 of space to transport the boxes.

A. 437,400 in.^3
