1 answer

Part A:

The volume of Box A is: length x width x height = 12 cm x 3 cm x 5 cm = 180 cm^3
The volume of Box B is: length x width x height = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm^3

To find the volume of the two boxes put together, we just need to add their volumes:
Volume of A and B = Volume of A + Volume of B = 180 cm^3 + 27 cm^3 = 207 cm^3

Therefore, the answer is B. 207 cm^3

Part B:

Now we just need to add the volume of Box C to the volume of the two boxes we already added together.

The volume of Box C is: length x width x height = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm^3

Volume of A, B, and C = Volume of A + Volume of B + Volume of C = 180 cm^3 + 27 cm^3 + 27 cm^3 = 234 cm^3

Therefore, the answer is C. 234 cm^3.
