Question

A block of marble is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The block is 3 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 18 inches high. What is the block? Volume of the block?

Answer 1

Answer: The volume of the rectangular prism is 9 feet²

Explanation:

The formula for determining volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = LWH

Where

L represents the length of the rectangular prism.

W represents the width of the rectangular prism.

H represents the height of the rectangular prism.

From the information given,

L = 3 feet

W = 2 feet

H = 18 inches

We would convert 18 inches to feet

12 inches = 1 feet

18 inches = (18 × 1)/12 = 1.5 feet

The volume of the rectangular prism would be

3 × 2 × 1.5 = 9 feet²

Answer 2

Volume of the rectangular Prism=
`9 feet^3`

Explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism= Length*Width*Height

Given ;

`Length =`
`3 ft`

`Width=`
`2 ft.`

`Height=`
`18 inches = 1.5 ft.`
`:1 ft = 12 inches`

Volume of the rectangular prism:

`=3*2*1.5\\=6*1.5\\=9.0feet^3`

So, the volume of the rectangular prism with the given dimensions is
`9 feet^3`
