Question

What is the volume of the prism? whole unit cubes fit inside the prism. quarter cubic units fit inside the prism. The total volume of the prism is units3 2 units 1 unit 4. units

Answer 1

In the prism there are two rows. In one row there are 4 whole cubes and one quarter cube. So total whole cubes in the prism is 8 and total quarter cubes in the prism is 2.

Determine the volume of prism.

`\begin{gathered} V=2\cdot4(1)/(4)\cdot1 \\ =2\cdot(17)/(4) \\ =(17)/(2) \\ =8.5 \end{gathered}`

So volume of prism is 8.5 units square.
