We can find the volume of the box by multiplying the length, width and heigth.
We can write this as:
[tex]V=l\cdot w\cdot h=(6\operatorname{cm})\cdot(4\operatorname{cm})\cdot(5\operatorname{cm})=(24\operatorname{cm})(5\operatorname{cm})=120\operatorname{cm}^3[/tex]
The base layer is 24 cm^3 (24 cubes of 1 cm^3) because its the volume of width 4 cm and length 6 cm, with a height of 1 cm (the height of the cube).
If we multiply the number of cubes, 24 of 1 cm^3, by the real height, that is 5 times 1 cm, we get: 24 cm^3 * 5 = 120 cm^3.
Answer: the box has a volume of 120 cm^3
