Question

Find the volume of the rectangular prism with a base of 4in and a height of 12in

Answer 1

V= 48

Explanation:

V = lwh

Height is 12

Knowing the base has an area of 4, we can assume that the prism either has a length of 2 and width of 2, or length of 4 and width of 1. Either way will provide the same answer.

Start Solving

V = lwh

V = (12)(4)(1)

V = (12)(4)

V = 48

Answer 2

• 48 in³

=====================

Formula for the volume of a rectangular prism:

• V = Bh, where B- area of base, h - height of prism

Substitute 4 for B and 12 for h and calculate the volume:

• V = 4*12
• V = 48
