Question

the dimensions of a plastic container are 8 in x 6 in x 4 in. what is the volume of the container? \\(\square\\) in\\(^3\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a rectangular prism

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism (which the container appears to be) is given by the formula \( V = l \times w \times h \), where \( l \) is the length, \( w \) is the width, and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given dimensions into the formula

Here, \( l = 8 \) in, \( w = 6 \) in, and \( h = 4 \) in. So we calculate \( V = 8 \times 6 \times 4 \).
First, multiply \( 8 \) and \( 6 \): \( 8\times6 = 48 \).
Then, multiply the result by \( 4 \): \( 48\times4 = 192 \).

Answer:

192
