The volume of the pasta box can be calculated using the formula V = B x h, where B is the base area (length x width) and h is the height.
Given:
Length = 2 1/2 in. = 5/2 in.
Width = 1/2 in.
Height = 8 1/2 in. = 17/2 in.
Base Area (B) = (5/2) x (1/2) = 5/4 in²
Volume (V) = (5/4) x (17/2) = 85/8 = 10 5/8 in³
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 10 5/8 in³.
