Question

Calculate the volume of each rectangular prism using the information that is provided.

a. Face area: 56 square meters
Height: 4 meters
b. Face area: 169 square inches
Height: 14 inches

Answer 1

a. 224 m³

b. 2366 in³

Explanation:

Since,

The volume of a rectangular prism,

`V=B* H`

Where,

B = Base area,

H = height

a. Given,

The face area or the base area,

B = 56 square meters,

H = 4 meters,

So, the volume of the rectangular prism,

`V=56* 4=224\text{ cube meters}`

b.

B = 169 square inches,

H = 14 inches,

So, the volume of the rectangular prism,

`V=169* 14=2366\text{ cube inches}`
