Maura has a part-time job wrapping gifts at a department store. A customer comes in and asks her to wrap a box. Whatever is inside that box feels like it weighs 50 pounds! The box is shaped like a cube that is 20 inches long on each side. What is the volume of the box?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of the box is [tex]8000 in^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the box is shaped like a cube, the volume of the box is:

[tex]V = L^3[/tex]

where l = length of side of the box

The box is 20 inches long on each side, that means that L = 20 in.

Hence, the volume of the box will be:

[tex]V = 20^3 = 8000 in^3[/tex]

The volume of the box is [tex]8000 in^3[/tex].
