Question

please help with question Camden is measuring a light fixture in the garage . It measures 5 inches in length , 4 inches in width, and 3 inches in height . What is the volume of the light fixture that Camden is measuring ?

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism like that on the figure is given by the product of each of its dimentions (length, width and height):

`V=l\cdot w\cdot h`

Substitute l=5inches, w=4inches, and h=3inches:

`V=(5\text{inches})(4\text{ inches})(3\text{ inches})`

Multiply those numbers to find the value of the volume:

`V=60inches^3`

Therefore, the volume of the light fixture is 60 cubic inches.
