Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the area of its base by its height.

Mathematically, we have

The volume of prism = base area X height

At this point, it is important to note that a rectangular prism is a solid shape that has its base as a rectangle; so the area of its base, is the same thing as the area of a rectangle.

Where base area = length X breadth

hence, volume = length X breadth X height

volume = 3/2 X 5/2 X 4 = 15 cubic inches
