Volume = base area × height

Volume = ( 4 × 1 ½ ) × 1 ½


v = (4 * (3)/(2) ) * (3)/(2) \\


v = (12)/(2) * (3)/(2) \\


v = (36)/(4) \\


v = 9

Thus C is the correct option.

Have a great day ♡

Answer:

B. 9 cubic inches

Explanation:

Hey there!

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you must use the formula:

L * W * H

  • L is the length
  • W is the width
  • H is the height

To find the volume we must multiply: 1.5, 4, and 1.5

Let's start!

  • 1.5 * 4 * 1.5
  • 6 * 1.5
  • 9

The solution is 9 cubic inches (remember that inches * inches * inches is inches³, or cubic inches)
