Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 3 1/2 inches, a width of 5 inches, and a height of 1 1/2 inches. What is the volume of the prism? Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number or a decimal

Answer 1

Volume of the rectangular prism = 26.25 inch³

Explanation:

The given data :-

• Length of the prism ( P ) =
  `3(1)/(2) = (7)/(2)` inches.
• Width of the prism ( Q ) = 5 inches.
• Height of the prism ( R ) =
  `1(1)/(2)` inches =
  `(3)/(2)` inches.

Solution :-

Volume of the rectangular prism = P * Q * R =
`(7)/(2)*5*(3)/(2)` =
`(105)/(4)` = 26.25 inch³

∴ Volume of the rectangular prism = 26.25 inch³
