Question

Determine the volume of the rectangular prism show 6.4 in. 5.1 in 10.2 in.

Answer 1

The volume of the rectangular prism is 332.928 cubic inches

Here, we want to calculate the volume of the prism shown

To calculate the volume of the prism, we calculate the area of the base and multiply by the height of the prism

The base of the prism is a rectangle that measures 6.4 inches by 5.1 inches

The area of the base is thus;

`A\text{ = 6.4 }*\text{ 5.1 = 32.64 square inches}`

Now, to complete the calculation of the volume, we shall multiply this area by the height

The height as seen by the given figure is 10.2 inches

Thus, the volume of the prism is;

`V\text{ = 32.64}*\text{ 10.2 = 332.928 cubic inches}`
