Answer:

We can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

V = lwh

where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

We are given that the volume of the prism is 637 cubic feet, the width is 12.5 feet, and the height is 6 feet. We can plug these values into the formula and solve for the length:

637 = l(12.5)(6)

637 = 75l

l = 8.49

Therefore, the length of the prism is approximately 8.49 feet.
