Question

What is the volume of a rectangular prism

8 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 5 inches high?
A
120 cubic inches
B
220 cubic inches
16 cubic inches
158 cubic inches

Answer 1

A; 120 cubic inches

Explanation:

Let us start with the formula of the volume of a rectangular prism,
`V=l*w*h`, where l represents the length of the prism, w represents the width of the prism, and h represents the height of the prism. It is given to us that h =5 inches, w =3 inches, and l =8 inches. Let's plug the values in:

`V= 8*3*5\\V=120`

A. The volume of the rectangular prism is 120 cubic inches.

Answer 2

The volume of the prism is 120 cubic inches. Option A

To determine the volume of the rectangular prism, we have to know that the formula for calculating the volume is expressed as;

V = lwh

Such that the parameters of the formula are given as;

• V is the volume of the prism
• l is the length of the prism
• w is the width of the prism
• h is the height of the prism

Now, substitute the values, we have;

Volume = 8 × 3 × 5

Multiply the values, we get;

Volume = 120 cubic inches
