This one odd cereal box. We are asked to find the volume of the "box". This can be answered in 2 parts. The total volume is the sum of the rectangular prism volume and the volume of the cylinder. The volume of the rectangular prism is 8x4x10 = 320 cm^3. Then the volume of the cylinder is [tex] \pi r^{2} h = V[/tex]. The volume of the cylinder is then 125.66. The total volume is then 445.66 ml (Note: ml = cm^3). Then V = 0.45L
