Question

A right rectangular prism is 10 1/2 m wide, 15 1/2 m long, and 3 m tall. What is the volume of the prism?

A- 46 1/2 m³ B- 162 3/4m³ C- 488 1/4 m³ D- 528 m³

Answer 1

the answer is 488 1/4.

Answer 2

Option C is correct

`488(1)/(4) m^3`

Explanation:

Volume(V) of a right rectangular prism is given by:

`V = lwh`

where

l is the length, w is the width and h is the height of the prism respectively.

as per the statement:

A right rectangular prism is 10 1/2 m wide, 15 1/2 m long, and 3 m tall.

⇒
`w = 10(1)/(2)=10.5 m`,
`l = 15(1)/(2) = 15.5 m` and h = 3m

Substitute these in [1] we get;

`V = (10.5) \cdot 15.5 \cdot 3 = 488.25 m^3`

Therefore, the volume of the prism is,
`488.25 = 488(1)/(4) m^3`
