inches, and the height is 4 inches. What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

The volume of the prism is 320 15/16 inches³.

Explanation:

Given:

The length of the base of a rectangular prism is 9 7/8.

The width of the prism is 8 1/8.

And the height is 4 inches.

Now, to find the volume of the prism.

(Length) l = 9 7/8 = 79/8 inches.

(Width) w = 8 1/8 = 65/8 inches.

(Height) h = 4 inches.

So, by putting the formula to get the volume:

Volume = w×h×l.

`Volume=(65)/(8)* 4* (79)/(8)`

`Volume=320(15)/(16)`

Volume = 320 15/16 inches³.

Therefore, the volume of the prism is 320 15/16 inches³.
