First, we need to convert the dimensions to the same unit. Let's convert all the dimensions to inches.
Length = 2 1/2 in. = 2.5 in.
Height = 8 1/2 in. = 8.5 in.
Width = 1/2 in. = 0.5 in.
Next, we can use the formula for finding the volume of a box, which is V = B x h, where V represents volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height.
The base of the box is the area of a rectangle, which is length x width. So, the area of the base (B) is:
B = length x width
B = 2.5 in. x 0.5 in.
B = 1.25 in²
Now, we can calculate the volume of the box by multiplying the area of the base (1.25 in²) by the height (8.5 in.):
Volume = B x h
Volume = 1.25 in² x 8.5 in.
Volume = 10.625 in³
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 10.625 cubic inches.
What is the volume of a pasta box that is 2 1/2 in. long, 8 1/2 in. tall, and 1/2 in. wide? Apply the V = B x h formula to solve.
