Answer:
The volume of a rectangular prism 6 centimeters high, 9 centimeters long, and 5 centimeters wide is:
- 270 cm³ (cubic centimeters).
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, you must know its formula, which is:
Volume of a prism= Base * Height * Depth.
Or, in terms of the exercise:
Volume of a prism= Length * Height * Width.
Taking into account this formula you must replace it with the values provided in the exercise, along with its units (in this case centimeters).
Volume of a prism= 9 cm * 6 cm * 5 cm.
Volume of a prism= 270 cm³
To get the correct result, you must multiply both the values and the units and remember that when multiplying units, what you really do is add exponents, as the units cm (centimeters) are raised to the exponent 1 (1 cm= 1 cm^1), by multiplying the three units of centimeters you get cm³.
