Question

The area of the base of a rectangular prism is 36 cm2. The height of the prism is 3 5/6 cm. What is the volume of the prism?

A) 39 5/6 cm3

B) 60 2/3 cm3

C) 72 1/4 cm3

D) 138 cm3

Answer 1

the answer is D) 138 cm3

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (C) 36 cm².

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the volume of a rectangular prism with base area 36 cm² and height
`3(5)/(6)~\textup{cm}.`

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism with base area b sq. units and height h units is given by

`V=bh.`

Here,

base area, b = 36 cm²

and

height is

`h=3(5)/(6)=(23)/(6)~\textup{cm}.`

Therefore, the VOLUME of the given prism will be

`V=bh=36* (23)/(6)=6* 23=138~\textup{cm}^3.`

Thus, the volume of the given rectangular prism is 36 cm².

Option (D) is CORRECT.
