A box has dimensions of 4.1 inches, 5.9 inches, and 7.2 inches. Estimate the volume of the solid.

A17 in3
B17 in2
C168 in3
D168 in2

Verified Answer :

Volume = length width height

Volume = 4.1 5.9 7.2 ≈ 4 6 7 = 168

Volume ≈ 168 in³

(C)

Answer: C. \(168\ in^3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The dimensions of a box are 4.1 inches, 5.9 inches, and 7.2 inches.

We know that the volume of a cuboid is given by :-

\(V=length*width*height\)

Thus, volume of given box is given by :-

\(V=4.1\times5.9\times7.2\approx4\times6\times7...\text{[Round off to the nearest ones]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=168\ in^3\)

Hence, the estimated volume of the box = \(168\ in^3\)
