Question

A mailbox is in the shape of a prism. The area of the base is 52 square inches and the height is 18 inches. What is the volume of the mailbox

Answer 1

The volume of the mailbox is
`936\ in^(3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the prism (mailbox) is equal to

`V=Bh`

where

B is the area of the base of the prism

h is the height of the prism

we have

`B=52\ in^(2)`

`h=18\ in`

substitute

`V=52(18)=936\ in^(3)`
