Answer 2

This is a somewhat broad question, if you're talking about simply calculating the spacial dimension of an object, eg. a line, a triangle, or a cube. Then you would simply count the number of spacial dimensions required to construct that object. A line requires only one dimension 'length', whereas a triangle requires two 'length' and 'width'. A cube requires three 'length', 'width', and 'height' (or 'depth').

Answer 3

is there more to the question Chooch146?

Answer 4

No i just need to know how i would calculate a carton.

Answer 5

do you know anything about the carton?

Answer 6

well its an orange juice carton

Answer 7

are you able to obtain the measurements for it?

Answer 8

like the inches?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

like the height, length, width, etc

Answer 11

The height is 9 in, the length is 4 in and the width is 4

Answer 12

and you want to calculate the volume?

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

the volume is equal to the result when you multiply the length, width and height

V = L*W*H

V = 9*4*4

V = 144

So the volume is 144 cubic inches

Answer 15

Ohh i see what about the dimensions? or s it the same thing?

Answer 16

the dimensions are the length, width, height

Answer 17

they uniquely define this carton

Answer 18

all you need to know are the dimensions and you can calculate the volume or surface area

you can use these dimensions to construct other cartons that are identical to this one

Answer 19

ohh wow i feel dumb...im terrible with calculations and math.

Answer 20

it's ok, don't feel bad, it's a silly mistake

Answer 21

Okay so if i need to find the volume of a carton i just need to multiply the height, width, and length?

Answer 22

yep, exactly

Answer 23

Okay thank you so much!!!!

Answer 24

you're welcome
