Question

What is the volume of the following rectangular prism?

Answer 1

8 1/2

Explanation:

I got the same question from khan

Answer 2

The volume of the rectangular prism is
`8(1)/(2)\ units^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The Volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

`V=BL`

where

B is the area of the base

L is the length of the prism

In this problem we have

`B=2(1)/(8)\ units^(2)=(8*2+1)/(8)=(17)/(8)\ units^(2)`

`L=4\ units`

substitute

`V=((17)/(8))(4)=(17)/(2)=8(1)/(2)\ units^(3)`
