Question

The prism below is made of cubes which measure of a foot on one side. What is the volume?

A. 12 cubic ft.

B. 4/3 cubic ft.

C. 10/3 cubic ft.

D. 36 cubic ft.

Answer 1

the answer is B. 4/3 cubic ft.

Explanation:

use the formula

V = LWH

using 1/3 for each calculation

length = 3 (1/3 ft)

width = 4 (1/3 ft)

height = 3 (1/3 ft)

then you substitute those dimension

V = (3/3 ft.) (4/3 ft.) (3/3 ft.)

V = (1 ft.) (4/3 ft.) (1 ft.)

V = 4/3 cubic ft
