Question

A rectangle with a 4-inch length and a 7-inch width is translated a distance of 12 inches perpendicular to the plane it is in. If copies of the rectangle are left along the path of the translation, what three-dimensional figure is formed, and what is its volume?

Answer 1

Prism; V = lwh

Length x Width x Height

Prism

Answer 2

rectangular prism, the volume would be 336 in³

Explanation:

l=4, w=7, h=12

4*7*12=336

Two faces are rectangular, and because it travels perpendicularly, the four others will also be rectangular.
