Answer 1

Step 1: Problem

The volume of a square base prism

Step 2: Concept

`Thev\text{olume of a rectangular prism = base area x height}`

Step 3: Method

Given base

Length of a square L = 1.5 inches

Height H = inches

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of a square base = L}^2 \\ =1.5^2 \\ =2.25in^2 \end{gathered}`

Next, let find the volume

`\begin{gathered} \text{Volume = base arae }*\text{ height} \\ =\text{ 2.25 }*\text{ 6} \\ =13.5in^3 \end{gathered}`

Step 4: Final answer

The volume of the rectangular prism = 13.5
