A rectangular block measuring 5 ft by 3 ft by 2 ft has a volume of 30 cubic feet. Which statement is true?

• A. Volume is 15 cubic feet
• B. Volume is 20 cubic feet
• C. Volume is 25 cubic feet
• D. Volume is 30 cubic feet

Answer: (D)

To find the volume of a rectangular block, multiply its length, width, and height. Here that’s 5 ft × 3 ft × 2 ft = 30 cubic feet, so the statement that the volume is 30 cubic feet is true. The other numbers come from multiplying only two dimensions or using an incorrect combination, which doesn’t represent the full three-dimensional volume.
