Calculating Volume of Cake Pans

JT is preparing to bake a cake for a friend's birthday. Before baking, he measures the cake pan's volume by filling it with 1-cubic-inch cubes, finding it holds 30 cubes. To confirm, JT calculates the volume by multiplying the pan's dimensions: length (5 inches), width (3 inches), and height (2 inches), resulting in the same volume of 30 cubic inches. Both methods verify the cake's volume, ensuring it will be delicious.
