Question

Find the volume of the rectangular prism. Round to the tenths place.

Answer 1

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given sides

`length=3m,width=2(1)/(4)m,height=4(1)/(2)m`

STEP 2: Write the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism

`Volume=length* width* height`

STEP 3: Calculate the volume of the prism

`\begin{gathered} By\text{ substitution,} \\ Volume=3*2(1)/(4)*4(1)/(2) \\ Volume=3*2.25*4.5 \\ Volume=30.375m^3 \\ Volume\approx30.4m^3 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the volume of the rectangular prism is 30.4m³
