Answer:
V = 40 1/2cm^3 OR 40.5cm^3
Explanation:
A Prism is given it's name from the nature of it's base.
If it's a triangular base, it's call a TRIANGULAR PRISM.
If the base is of a rectangle shape, it's called a RECTANGULAR PRISM and so on!
From the question given, we'll treat the prism as a RECTANGULAR PRISM.
The volume of a prism is expressed as:
V = Bh
B means the BASE AREA
h means the height
Base Area for the prison is RECTANGLE.
Area of a rectangle (A) = lw
l means height
w means weight.
From the dimensions given in the question:
Length = 4 1/2cm
Width = 6cm
Height = 1 1/2cm
Let's start with the BASE AREA of the Rectangle
A = lw
A = 4 1/2cm * 6cm
A = 9/2cm * 6cm
A= 27cm^2
Volume = Base Area (A) * height (h)
V = Bh
V= 27cm ^2 * 1 1/2 cm
V = 27 * 3/2
V = 81 / 2
V = 40 1/2cm^3 OR 40.5cm^3
