<p>What is the volume, in cubic inches, of the smallest rectangular box into which a 1 inch cube, a 2 inch cube, and 3 inch cube can be packed together? (assume that the cubes are solid.)</p>
<p>To pack them together, you'd put the 2 inch cube to the right of the 3 inch cube and put the 1 inch cube on top of the 2 inch cube.</p>
<p>So what's the volume of the smallest rectangular box that fits that?</p>
<p>SO what is the answer?</p>
<p>You need 3 x 3 x 5</p>
<p>1st the 3 cubic, next to it the 2 cubic and in the corner formed by the 2 and 3, a 1 cubic.</p>
<p>45 cubic inches</p>
<p>i guess the dimesions would be 5x3x3, so that'll give you 45 inches cubed</p>
<p>yepp I had 45 too</p>
<p>Thank you all for great explanations on this problem!</p>
