Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangular prism. The top, front, and right faces are visible. The edges that are not visible are indicated by a dashed line. The base is labeled upper B equals 240 centimeters squared. The bottom front edge is labeled l equals 24 centimeters. A vertical edge is labeled h equals 8 centimeters.
Find the volume of the right rectangular prism.
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we multiply the length by the width by the height. We are given the width (24 cm), the height (8 cm), and the area of the base (240 cm²). We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle (A = l x w) to find the length:
240 = l x 24
l = 10
Now we have all the dimensions we need to calculate the volume:
V = l x w x h
V = 10 cm x 24 cm x 8 cm
V = 1,920 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is 1,920 cubic centimeters.
