If a box has dimensions of 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm, what is its volume?

• A. 20 cm³
• B. 60 cm³
• C. 120 cm³
• D. 240 cm³

Answer: (C)

To find the volume of a box (or rectangular prism), you multiply its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the box are 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm.

The volume ( V ) can be calculated using the formula:

[

V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}

]

Substituting in the values gives:

[

V = 4 , \text{cm} \times 5 , \text{cm} \times 6 , \text{cm}

]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. First, multiply 4 cm by 5 cm:

[

4 , \text{cm} \times 5 , \text{cm} = 20 , \text{cm}^2

]

2. Next, multiply this result by 6 cm:

[

20 , \text{cm}^2 \times 6 , \text{cm} = 120 , \text{cm}^3

]

Thus, the volume of the box is 120 cm³. This confirms
