Question

Find the volume of a prism with a length of 4.5 inches, width of 5 inches, and a height that is one third of the length.

Answer 1

33.75

Explanation:

Formula: Width · Height · Length

Substitute with known values: 5 · height · 4.5

Find Length: Since the height is one third of the length, we need to divide the length by three → 4.5 ÷ 3 = 1.5

Know we know that the height is 1.5.

Substitute Known Height: 5 · 1.5 · 4.5

Simplify: 5 · 1.5 · 4.5 = 33.75
