The volume of the pasta box is calculated using the formula V = B × h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
Given:
Length (l) = 2 1/2 = 5/2 in
Width (w) = 1/2 in
Height (h) = 8 1/2 = 17/2 in
Area of the base (B) = l × w
B = (5/2) × (1/2)
B = 5/4 in^2
Volume (V) = B × h
V = (5/4) * (17/2)
V = 85/8
V = 10 5/8 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the pasta box is 10 5/8 in^3.
