Answer:
[tex]300[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8 \times 7 \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times = 300[/tex]
The rectangular plant can hold the volume of potting soil is 300 cubic inches.
A cuboid is a three-dimensional shape in which all sides are rectangles. A cuboid has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. All the angles formed at the vertices of a cuboid are right angles. The opposite edges are parallel to each other.
For the given situation,
The rectangular plant holder is in the shape cuboid.
Length of the rectangular plant,l = 8 inches
Width of the rectangular plant,w = 7 1/2 = 15/2 inches
Height of the rectangular plant,h = 5 inches
The formula of volume of cuboid is
[tex]V=lwh[/tex]
⇒ [tex]V= (8)(\frac{15}{2} )(5)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]V=300[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the rectangular plant can hold the volume of potting soil is 300 cubic inches.
