A hot chocolate company is deciding which box shaped to use for their new product line. The first box box measures 8” x 6” x 9” the second box box B measures 9” x 4” x 13” which box requires more materials to make.
To determine which box requires more materials to make, we can calculate the volume of each box.
Box A:
Volume of Box A = 8” x 6” x 9” = 432 cubic inches
Box B:
Volume of Box B = 9” x 4” x 13” = 468 cubic inches
Therefore, Box B requires more materials to make because it has a larger volume (468 cubic inches) compared to Box A (432 cubic inches).
