Question

A rectangular tissue box is 52 5 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 1 1 4 inch tall. What is the volume of the tissue box? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

262.5 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's look at its dimensions:

Length: 52.5 inches

Width: 4 inches

Height: 1 1/4 inches

_______________

Now we have to visualize stacking these dimensions to create the box. Think of stacking the length (52.5 inches) on top of the width (4 inches), and then stacking the height (1 1/4 inches) on top of that.

We measure how much "stuff" we can fit inside this box to find the volume. So, we multiply the length, width, and height together. It's like figuring out the total amount of space the box occupies.

$Volume = Length \, \times Width \, \times \, Height. \,$

now plug in the numbers

$Volume = 52.5\, inches \times 4\, inches \times 1.25 \, inches$

When we multiply these together, we get the volume of the tissue box, which tells us how much space it takes up inside.

the tissue box has a volume of 262.5 cubic inches.
