Question

A museum has an aquarium in the shape of a right rectangular prism that is 22.9 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, and 5.6 meters high. What is the volume, round to the nearest cubic meter, of the aquarium?

A. 280
B. 623
C. 1288
D. 962

Answer 1

1288 c m 3

Explanation:

To work out volume, you just do the simple calculation of height x width x length. So what we need to do here is 6 x 7.5 x 22.9 =

1212.5 c m 3 .

The decimal is a 5 so that is rounded up to give the nearest meter hence the answer to the question is

1288 c m 3 .
