Question

A right rectangular prism has edges of 8 feet, 4 feet, and 1/2 foot. How many cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot would be needed to fill the prism?

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Edges of 8 feet, 4 feet, and 1/2 foot

Generally the volume V_p of the right rectangular prism is mathematically represented as

`V_p=8*4*0.5`

`V_p=16`

Generally volume of the cube V_c is mathematically given as

`V_c =((1)/(2))^3`

`V_c =(1)/(6)`

Therefore total number of cubes is given as

`V=(V_p)/(V_c)`

`V=(16)/((1)/(6))`

`V=96`
