Question

A box with a square base has sides of 5" and is 8" tall.

What is its volume?

Answer 1

volume of a box is the base area times height

since the base is a square, the area of a square is \[A=s^2\]
multiply that by the height of hte box,
the volume is
\[V=s^2*h\]
where s is a 5" and h is 8"

Answer 2

I agree. Vol. of a rectangular box = (base area) * (height)
