Which rectangular prism has the greatest volume?
A Prism R
B Prism S
C Prism T
D Prism U

Answer 1

Prism T has the greatest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of each rectangular prism, we need to multiply the number of layers by the number of cubes in each layer.

For Prism R, the volume is 3 x 8 = 24 cubic centimeters.

For Prism S, the volume is 5 x 5 = 25 cubic centimeters.

For Prism T, the volume is 6 x 5 = 30 cubic centimeters.

For Prism U, the volume is 7 x 4 = 28 cubic centimeters.

Therefore, Prism T has the greatest volume.
