Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism that has a length of 8 square inches, a width of 6 3/4 square inches, and a height of 5 1/4 square inches?

Answer 1

Given:

Let us consider,

Length of a rectangular prism = 8 inches

Width =
`6(3)/(4)` inches

Height =
`5(1)/(4)` inches

To find:

The volume of the rectangular prism.

Solution:

The volume of a rectangular prism is:

`V=l* w* h`

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting the given values, we get

`V=8* 6(3)/(4)* 5(1)/(4)`

`V=8* (27)/(4)* (21)/(4)`

`V=(567)/(2)`

`V=283.5`

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 283.5 cubic inches.
