Find (1) the volume of the larger rectangular prism, (2) the volume of the smaller rect. prism, and then (3) the difference between (1) and (2).

Vol. = (20*5*20) cm^3 - (5*5*5) cm^3 = ?

Answer:

D. [tex]1875\text{ cm}^3[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a container and we are asked to find the volume of our given container.

To find the volume of our given container we will use volume of cuboid formula.

[tex]\text{Volume of cuboid}=l*w*h[/tex], where,

[tex]l=\text{Length of cuboid}[/tex],

[tex]w=\text{Width of cuboid}[/tex],

[tex]h=\text{Height of cuboid}[/tex].

We can see that a smaller cuboid is inside the bigger cuboid, so volume of container will be equal to volume of bigger cuboid minus volume of smaller cuboid.

[tex]\text{Volume of container}=\text{20 cm*20 cm *5 cm}-(\text{5 cm*5 cm*5 cm)}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Volume of container}=2000\text{ cm}^3-125\text{ cm}^3[/tex]

[tex]\text{Volume of container}=1875\text{ cm}^3[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of our given container is 1875 cubic inches and option D is the correct choice.
