What is the volume of a container that is 12 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 6 feet high?

288 cubic feet
288 cubic meters
72 cubic feet
88 cubic feet

The correct answer is: 88 cubic feet

To determine the volume of a container, the formula used is length multiplied by width multiplied by height. In this case, the container is 12 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 6 feet high. By applying the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Height Volume = 12 ft × 4 ft × 6 ft Calculating this gives: Volume = 12 × 4 = 48 Volume = 48 × 6 = 288 cubic feet Therefore, the correct calculation for the volume of the container is indeed 288 cubic feet. This means that the answer choice indicating 288 cubic feet accurately represents the product of multiplying the dimensions of the container. The other choices present incorrect volume amounts, as the calculated volume does not equate to the values provided in the other options, whether they are in cubic meters or flawed cubic feet measurements. Understanding the multiplication of dimensions in feet is crucial for deriving the correct volume in cubic feet, emphasizing the need to consistently apply proper dimensional calculations in similar problems.
