Question

Calculate the total volume of the container of given dimensions as shown below.

• A. 90 cu in
• B. 120 cu in
• C. 150 cu in
• D. 170 cu in

Answer 1

The correct option is D 170 cu in

Volume of the container = Volume of 2 rectangular prisms A and B

$\text{Volume of rectangular prism A =}length\times width\times height$
$=8\times 2\times 5$
$=80\text{cu in}$

Similarly,
$\text{Volume of rectangular prism B =}length\times width\times height$
$=5\times 2\times 9$
$=90\text{cu in}$

Total volume = Volume of A + Volume of B
= 90 + 80
= 170 cu in
