Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 3 1/2 inches, a width of 5 inches, and a height of 1 1/2 inches. What is the volume of the prism? i need it in a fraction plz

Answer 1

Answer:
`(385)/(4)\ in.^3`

Explanation:

Given

Length of prism
`L=3\ (1)/(2)=(7)/(2)\ in.`

Width of prism
`w=5\ in.`

Height of prism
`h=(11)/(2)\ in.`

The volume of a rectangular prism is

`\Rightarrow V=L* w* h`

Putting values

`\Rightarrow V=(7)/(2)* 5* (11)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow V=(385)/(4)\ in.^3`

The volume of prism is
`(385)/(4)\ in.^3`
