Question:

Aubrey has a new art box in the shape of  a rectangular prism. The box is 5 inches  by 8 inches by 2 inches. The only thing in  the art box is a new pink eraser with the  dimensions shown below.

0.25 inches  by 1 inches by 2 in ches

What is the volume of the art box not  taken up by the eraser?

Answer:

$Volume = 79.5in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Box = \{5in, 8in, 2in\}$

$Eraser = \{0.25in, 1in, 2in\}$

Volume is calculated as:

$Volume = Length * Width * Height$

First, we calculate the volume of the box:

$V_{box} = 5in * 8in * 2in$

$V_{box} = 80in^3$

Next, we calculate the volume of the eraser.

$V_{eraser} = 0.25in * 1in * 2in$

$V_{eraser} = 0.5in^3$

The volume not taken up is calculated as thus:

$Volume = V_{box} - V_{eraser}$

$Volume = 80in^3 - 0.5in^3$

$Volume = 79.5in^3$
