what have you considered ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or, what are you having trouble with specifically ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, trouble with specifically

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how do we calculate the volume of a box?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v= a x a x a?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

only if its a cube, you dont have cubes what is a more general formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure.. a^3 or is that the same thing

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that would be axaxa = a^3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what do a and a and a measure on a cube?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops. L x h?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

getting warmer V = lwh, length width and height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and which box am i trying to get the V for?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

both of them make up the piece, so you want the volume of both boxes to add together

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is the length width and height of box1? what is the length width and height of box2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh that make so much sense now.. haha thank you 216? 90?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (amistre64):

add them together

OpenStudy (anonymous):
