I answered 480x720x8 bytes, but apparently I'm wrong according to the online homework console.

I believe it should be 480 * 720 * 8 * 8 * 8 (3 colors = RGB...4 if there's an alpha channel I suppose)

anonymous · Answer

480 x 720 x 3 is the right one, the homework console says though..

stormfire1 · Answer

Yea...I shoulda got that right.  It's 3 colors bytes per RGB not 8 * 8 * 8 :)

anonymous · Answer

it may have to do something about 8 bits per byte.. im guessing that's bec of 3 colors and there's 1 byte per color
