Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism that has a height of 2 inches a width of 2 and 1/2 inches and a length of 5 and 1/2 inches?

Answer 1

V = 27.4 in^2

Explanation:

Converting to mixed numbers with fractions in decimal format makes this problem easier. 2 1/2 inches is the same as 2.5 inches; 5 1/2 inches is 5.5 inches.

The volume formula is V = L*W*H.

Here, V = (5.5 in)(2.5 in)(2 in), or 27.4 in^2
