What is the volume of a box in the shape of a cube with each edge 1 ft long?

anonymous · Answer

volume is length cubed so $$V<L ^{3}$$  hence $$V<12^{3}inches$$ dont know what a foot is in inches as i use metric system but i assume answer is D

kropot72 · Answer

$$V<12^{3}inches$$is not one of the choices.
Don't confuse it with the choice V < 12 in3 which stands for 12 cubic inches.

anonymous · Answer

ok i dont get imperial system join modern age and use metric it makes much more sense

kropot72 · Answer

If a box in the shape of a cube has each side equal to 12 inches the volume is:
12 * 12 * 12 = 1728 cubic inches.

anonymous · Answer

yeah that what i meant but what is a cubic foot

kropot72 · Answer

One cubic foot has a volume equal to that of a cube with each side measuring 1 foot.
1 * 1 * 1 = 1 cubic foot.
There are 12 inches in a foot. Therefore 1 cubic foot = 12 * 12 * 12 = 728 cubic inches.
