Jethro wants a swimming pool in his backyard, so he digs a rectangular hole with dimensions 40 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. How many cubic feet of water will the pool hold? This is a rectangular solid. The volume is l x w x h: V = 40 x 20 x 5 V = 4,000 cubic feet

A storage box has a volume of 56 cubic inches. The base of the box is 4 inches by 4 inches. What is the height of the box? The volume of the box is l x w x h. We're given l and w = 4. So we want height: 56 = 4 x 4 x h 16h = 56 Type this equation into our search engine and we get: h = 3.5

A spherical water tank holds 11,500ft^3 of water. What is the diameter? The tank holding amount is volume. And the volume of a sphere is: V = (4pir^3)/3 We know that radius is 1/2 of diameter: r =d/2 So we rewrite our volume function: V = 4/3(pi(d/2)^3) We're given V = 11,500 so we have...

A cereal box has dimensions of 12" x 3" x 18". How many square inches of cardboard are used in its construction? A cereal box is a rectangular solid. The volume formula is V = lwh. Substituting these values of the cereal box in, we have: V = 12(3)(18) V = 648 cubic inches
