Question
What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a height of 2 1/2 ft., a length of 2 1/4 ft., and a width of 3 1/8 ft.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(1 point)
ft.(power of 3)
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the height, length, and width.
Volume = height x length x width
Volume = (2 1/2) x (2 1/4) x (3 1/8)
Volume = (5/2) x (9/4) x (25/8)
Volume = (45/8) x (25/8)
Volume = 1125/64
Volume ≈ 17.578125
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is approximately 17 9/16 cubic feet.
