The diagram shows a prism.

The cross-section can be divided into three identical rectangles.

Each rectangle measures 7 cm by 4 cm.
The prism is 10cm long.

Work out the volume of the prism.

Answer:

The volume of the prism is 840 cm³.

Explanation:

Since the cross-section can be divided into three identical rectangles, the base area of the prism is:

Area of one rectangle = 7 cm × 4 cm = 28 cm²

Area of three rectangles = 3 × 28 cm² = 84 cm²

Therefore, the base area of the prism is 84 cm².

To find the volume of the prism, we need to multiply the base area by the height of the prism.

Height of the prism = 10 cm

Volume of the prism = base area × height
= 84 cm² × 10 cm
= 840 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the prism is 840 cm³.
