Question

The rectangular prism below has a base area of 38 units^2. and a height of 11.3 units. Find its volume.

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

`volume\text{ = base area }*\text{ height}`

Given the rectangular prism below:

where

`\begin{gathered} base\text{ area = 38 units}^2 \\ height\text{ = 11.3 units} \end{gathered}`

The volume of the rectangular prism is evaluated as

`\begin{gathered} volume\text{ = base area }*\text{ height} \\ =38\text{ units}^2*11.3\text{ units} \\ \Rightarrow volume\text{ = 429.4 units}^3 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the volume of the rectangular prism is

`429.4\text{ units}^3`
