Trisha has put boxes together for an art project. What is the combined volume of the boxes?
Two boxes, labeled A and B are shown. Box A has a length of 12 cm, width of 3 cm, and height of 5 cm. Box B is placed on top of Box A with length of 3 cm, width of 3 cm, and height of 3 cm.
The volume of Box A is:
12 cm x 3 cm x 5 cm = 180 cm³
The volume of Box B is:
3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm³
To find the combined volume, we just need to add the volumes of the two boxes:
180 cm³ + 27 cm³ = 207 cm³
Therefore, the combined volume of the two boxes is 207 cubic centimeters.
