Respuesta :

Answer:  Volume of container would be 81648 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of cube = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\ foot=6\ inches[/tex]

Number of boxes = 378

As we have given that

shape of cube completely fill a container of rectangular prism shape and it fills 378 boxes.

So,Number of boxes is given by

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Volume of container}}{\text{ Volume of cube}}[/tex]

[tex]378=\dfrac{Volume}{6\times 6\times 6}\\\\378\times 216=Volume\\\\81648\ in^3=Volume[/tex]

Hence, Volume of container would be 81648 cubic inches.

The volume of a rectangular prism is 81648cm³

Volume of boxes

The formula for calculating the volume of box is expressed as:

V = s³

Given that the length of the container is 0.5 feet, the length in inches is 6 inches

Volume = 6³ = 216in³

This shows that a box has a volume of 216cm³

If there are 378 boxes, hence the volume of the prism is 216 × 378 = 81648cm³

Hence the volume of a rectangular prism is 81648cm³
