Question

a kitchen sink is a rectangular prism with a length of 19 7/8 inches, a width of 14 3/4 inches, and height of 10 inches. Estimate the volume of the sink.

Answer 1

The volume of the sink is 2931.56 in².

Explanation:

The formula for volume of rectangular prism is

`V=l* w* h`

Where, l is length, w is width and h height.

It is given that the length of the rectangular prism is
`19(7)/(8)` inches, width of the prism is
`14(3)/(4)` inches and height is 10 inches.

The volume of the sink is

`V=19(7)/(8)* 14(3)/(4)* 10`

`V=(159)/(8)* (59)/(4)* 10`

`V=(46905)/(16)=2931.5625\approx 2931.56`

Therefore the volume of the sink is 2931.56 in².
