Answer:
"a container with the dimensions 3 by 5 by 10 inches"
Step-by-step explanation:
To find volume of rectangular box, we multiply the length, width, and height. Or if given in 3 dimensions form, we multiply all 3.
Lets find volume of each of the answer choices:
a container with the dimensions 2 by 5 by 10 inches = 2 * 5 * 10 = 100
a container with the dimensions 3 by 4 by 10 inches = 3 * 4 * 10 = 120
a container with the dimensions 3 by 5 by 10 inches = 3 * 5 * 10 = 150
a container with the dimensions 4 by 2 by 10 inches = 4 * 2 * 10 = 80
We want a container LARGE ENOUGH to contain a volume of 130 cubic inches. Which of the containers has a volume GREATER than 130?
Yes, only the 3rd option. It is 150 cubic inches in volume.
So, this is the answer:
a container with the dimensions 3 by 5 by 10 inches
