Question

What is the volume of the prism that is 5 meters wide, 4 meters high, and 8 meters long?A. 160 m³B. 180 m³C. 120 m³D. 200 m³

Answer 1

`160m^3\text{ (option A)}`

Step-by-step explanation:
`\text{Volume of prism = base area }*\text{ height}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Base area = length }*\text{ width} \\ \text{length = 8m} \\ \text{width = 5m} \\ \text{Base area = 8}*5=40m^2 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of the prism = 40m}^2\text{ }*\text{ 4m} \\ \text{Volume of the prism = 160m}^3\text{ (option A)} \end{gathered}`
