I'll solve this problem step by step, calculating the volume of each rectangular prism based on the given dimensions.
First, let me recall the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:
Volume = length × width × height
Now I'll calculate the volume for each box color:
Red box:
- Length = 9 in
- Width = 6 in
- Height = 2 in
- Volume = 9 × 6 × 2 = 108 in³
Blue box:
- Length = 2 in
- Width = 4 in
- Height = 7 in
- Volume = 2 × 4 × 7 = 56 in³
Green box:
- Length = 3 in
- Width = 5 in
- Height = 5 in
- Volume = 3 × 5 × 5 = 75 in³
Yellow box:
- Length = 8 in
- Width = 4 in
- Height = 3 in
- Volume = 8 × 4 × 3 = 96 in³
Orange box:
- Length = 4 in
- Width = 6 in
- Height = 7 in
- Volume = 4 × 6 × 7 = 168 in³
Brown box:
- Length = 2 in
- Width = 5 in
- Height = 8 in
- Volume = 2 × 5 × 8 = 80 in³
Now I need to match these calculated volumes with the volumes shown for each 3D shape (a-f) and color them accordingly.
Looking at the shapes:
- a. Volume = 168 in³ → This matches the Orange box
- b. Volume = 96 in³ → This matches the Yellow box
- c. Volume = 80 in³ → This matches the Brown box
- d. Volume = 75 in³ → This matches the Green box
- e. Volume = 108 in³ → This matches the Red box
- f. Volume = 56 in³ → This matches the Blue box
For part g, Jenna has a black box that is 14 inches tall, 3 inches deep, and 2 inches wide.
Volume = 14 × 3 × 2 = 84 in³
Let me summarize the solution:
The completed table should be:
- Red box: 108 in³
- Blue box: 56 in³
- Green box: 75 in³
- Yellow box: 96 in³
- Orange box: 168 in³
- Brown box: 80 in³
Coloring the boxes:
- a. Orange (168 in³)
- b. Yellow (96 in³)
- c. Brown (80 in³)
- d. Green (75 in³)
- e. Red (108 in³)
- f. Blue (56 in³)
For part g: The volume of the black box is 84 in³.
