Answer:
Maximum: 47.25 cubic feet
Minimum: 17.5 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
You measure a tub shaped as a rectangular prism to be be 3 ft wide, 4 ft long, and 2.5 feet tall to the nearest half foot.
The maximum sizes:
Width = 3.5 ft
Length = 4.5 ft
Height = 3 ft
Volume
[tex]V_{max}=3.5\cdot 4.5\cdot 3=47.25\ ft^3.[/tex]
The minimum sizes:
Width = 2.5 ft
Length = 3.5 ft
Height = 2 ft
Volume
[tex]V_{max}=2.5\cdot 3.5\cdot 2=17.5\ ft^3.[/tex]
