Solution
The volume of a rectangular prism (or a box) is calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height.
So, for this crate:
Length = 3 feet Width = 1.2 feet Height = 4.5 feet
We multiply these values together to find the volume:
Volume = Length * Width * Height Volume = 3 feet * 1.2 feet * 4.5 feet Volume = 16.2 cubic feet
So, the volume of the crate is 16.2 cubic feet.
