What is the total volume of the box in cubic centimeters that measures 16 cm long, 10 cm wide, and 8 cm high?

  1. 1280 cm³

  2. 160 cm³

  3. 480 cm³

  4. 320 cm³

The correct answer is: 1280 cm³

To find the total volume of a box, you use the formula for volume, which is the product of its length, width, and height. In this case, the dimensions of the box are given as follows: the length is 16 cm, the width is 10 cm, and the height is 8 cm. To calculate the volume, you multiply these three dimensions together: Volume = Length × Width × Height Volume = 16 cm × 10 cm × 8 cm First, multiply the length and width: 16 cm × 10 cm = 160 cm² Next, take that result and multiply it by the height: 160 cm² × 8 cm = 1280 cm³ Thus, the total volume of the box is 1280 cubic centimeters. This calculation clearly shows why 1280 cm³ is the correct answer, as it accurately applies the formula for volume and uses the given dimensions properly.
