Answer key and explanations

  1. A. 576 cubic inches

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(12 \times 6 \times 8 = 576\). So the volume is 576 cubic inches.

  2. B. 125 cubic inches

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125\). So the volume is 125 cubic inches.

  3. C. 336 cubic feet

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(6 \times 7 \times 8 = 336\). So the volume is 336 cubic feet.

  4. D. 84 cubic meters

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(7 \times 3 \times 4 = 84\). So the volume is 84 cubic meters.

  5. A. 280 cubic centimeters

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(8 \times 5 \times 7 = 280\). So the volume is 280 cubic centimeters.

  6. B. 189 cubic inches

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(9 \times 7 \times 3 = 189\). So the volume is 189 cubic inches.

  7. C. 180 cubic feet

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(10 \times 3 \times 6 = 180\). So the volume is 180 cubic feet.

  8. A. 420 cubic centimeters

    Use the rectangular-prism volume formula: \(12 \times 7 \times 5 = 420\). So the volume is 420 cubic centimeters.
