Correct Question: a block is 6 feet wide, 5 feet deep and 8 feet tall in the closet there is a suitcase that is 2 feet wide and 3 feet long and 4 feet tall how much room is left in the closet
Answer:
216ft³
Explanation:
The 5 feet deep is taken to be the length. It is quite confusing using "deep" and "tall" in the statement.
Volume of the closet, Vc = l × w × h
Vc = 5 × 6 × 8 = 240 ft³
Volume of the suitcase, Vs = l × w × h
Vs = 3 × 2 × 4 = 24 ft³
Volume of the remaining space in the closet, Vr = Vc - Vs
Vr = 240 - 24 = 216 ft³
I hope you find my answer helpful.
