Question

a rectangular box has a length of 12 cm, a width of 20 cm, and a height of 5 cm. what is the volume of the box in ml?
a 300 ml
b 160 ml
c 37 ml
d 1200 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

The volume $V$ of a rectangular - box (rectangular prism) is given by $V = l\times w\times h$, where $l$ is the length, $w$ is the width, and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Substitute given values

Given $l = 12$ cm, $w = 20$ cm, and $h = 5$ cm. Then $V=12\times20\times5$.
$12\times20 = 240$, and $240\times5=1200$ $cm^{3}$.

Step3: Convert to mL

Since $1$ $cm^{3}=1$ mL, the volume in mL is also 1200 mL.

Answer:

d. 1200 mL
