The image of the right rectangular prism is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
volume of the right rectangular prism = 625 in³
Explanation:
The rectangular prism is made of equal-sized cubes. Thus, let's first find the volume of 1 cube.
Formula for volume of one cube is;
V = a³
where
a is the length of one side of the cube
We are told that this length is 2½ inches
Thus;
a = 2½ = 5/2 inches
>> V = (5/2)³
>> V = 125/8 in³
Now, in the rectangular prism attached, if we count the number of cubes we have, it is equal to 40 cubes
Therefore, the volume of the prism is;
Volume of one cube × 40
>> volume of the prism = (125/8) × 40
volume of the prism = 625 in³
