Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 212 centimeters, a width of 212 centimeters, and a height of 5 centimeters. Justin has a storage container for the prism that has a volume of 35 cubic centimeters. What is the difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container?

Answer 1

the difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container is:

3.75 cm ^ 3

Explanation:

Answer 2

First we must find the volume of the rectangular prism.
We have then:
V = (l) * (w) * (h)
Where,
l: long
w: width
h: height
Substituting the values we have:
V = (2 1/2) * (2 1/2) * (5)
V = 31.25 cm ^ 3
The difference between the container and the prism is:
35-31.25 = 3.75 cm ^ 3
Answer:
the difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container is:
3.75 cm ^ 3
