Question

In Japan, farmers have created watermelons in the shape of rectangular prisms. Find the volume of a prism-shaped watermelon in cubic inches if its length is 10inches,its width is 2/3 foot, and its height is 9 inches.

Answer 1

Answer:
`720\ inches^3`

Explanation:

Given: The length of the prism = 10 inches

The height of the prism = 9 inches

The width of the prism =
`(2)/(3)\ foot`

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches

Then, width of the prism =
`(2)/(3)*12=8\ inches`

The volume of rectangular prism is given by :_

`V=lwh\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=10*8*9\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=720\ inches^3`

Hence, the volume of a prism-shaped watermelon =
`720\ inches^3`

Answer 2

The answer to this mathematical problem is 723.6 cubic inches. First, you convert 2/3 foot to inches (which is 8.04 inches). Then solve for the volume.
