Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism with the dimensions: base 3 1/4

cm, height 2 1/2

cm, and length 4 1/2

cm?

Answer 1

V=whl=3.25·2.5·4.5=36.5625 cm

Explanation:

Formula: V=whl

Width and base are interchangeable words so all you do is plug the base into (w).

Turn the fractions into decimals and multiply.

3 1/4 = 3.25

2 1/2 = 2.5

4 1/2 = 4.5

3.25*2.5*4.5 = V

V = 36.5625 cm
