Acube shaped packing box like the one shown below is used to pack a stack of dinner plates. if the volume of the box is 1,000 cubic inches, what is the maximum circumference of the dinner plates that will ft in the box, to the nearest tenth of an inch a. 15.7 b. 31.4 c. 78.5 d. 99.3

The correct answer is Choice B: 31.4.

If the volume of the cube is 1000, that means that the width of the box would be 10. That would also be the diameter of the largest plate that fits in the box.

Using 10 as the diameter, we can find the circumference, by multiplying it by pi.

C = pi x diameter
C = 3.14 x 10
C = 31.4
