The Solution:
Given:
We are required to explain why we agree or disagree with Peta's claim that the volume of the given shape is 16 cubic units.
Step 1:
Find the volume of the shape.
[tex]\begin{gathered} V=L\times W\times H \\ In\text{ this case,} \\ V=volume=? \\ L=length=3\text{ units} \\ W=width=2\text{ units} \\ H=height=5\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Substituting these values in the formula, we get
[tex]V=3\times2\times5=30\text{ cubic units}[/tex]
Thus, I do not agree with Peta that the volume of the shape is 16 cubic units because the true volume of the shape is 30 cubic units.
