Using the formula V = B x h, what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a width of 3} in., a
length of 5- in., and a height of 7 in.? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.
(1 point)
The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula V = B x h.
The base of the prism is the area of the rectangle formed by the length and width, so B = 3 x 5 = 15 sq. in.
Plugging in the values of B = 15 sq. in. and h = 7 in. into the formula V = B x h, we get:
V = 15 sq. in. x 7 in.
V = 105 cu. in.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 105 cubic inches.
It’s supposed to be a fraction in the simplest form
I apologize for the oversight. Let's simplify the fraction 105 cu. in.
To simplify 105/1, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 15.
105 ÷ 15 = 7
1 ÷ 15 = 1/15
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 7 cu. in. in simplest form.
