Question

A right rectangular prism has a length of 8 ft, width of 8 1/4 ft, and height of 4 1/2 ft. What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

Volume = 297 ft³

Explanation:

We have given the length , height and width of the rectangular prism.

length = 8 ft , width = 8 1/4 ft and height = 4 1/2 ft

We have to find the volume of prism.

The formula to find the volume of prism is :

Volume = length × height × width

Putting given values in formula, we have

Volume = 8 × 4 1/2 × 8 1/4

Volume = 8 × 9/2 × 33/4

Volume = 8 × 4.5 × 8.25

Volume = 297 ft³ which is the answer.

Answer 2

297 cubic feet

Explanation:

We are given that a right rectangular prism has a length of 8 ft, width of 8 1/4 ft, and height of 4 1/2 ft.

We are to find the volume of this prism.

We know the formula of volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
`w * h * l`

where
`w` is the width,
`h` is the height and
`l` is the length of the prism.

So substituting the given values in the formula:

Volume of prism =
`8(1)/(4) * 4(1)/(2) * 8 =` 297 cubic feet
