Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula:
![V=Lwh](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/physics/middle-school/sc6kwsxdloh5vw6uod5k91s4uaqvvce0m1.png)
where
L is the length of the base
w is the width of the base
h is the height of the prism
In this problem, the prism has a squared base: this means that
![L=w](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/physics/middle-school/3cazsbfj71e0m4q9xuink29y0pfz53bm18.png)
because the two sides of the base have same length. We know that their length is
L = w = 7 in.
While the height of the prism is:
h = 2 in.
Therefore, the volume of the prism is:
![V=Lwh=(7)(7)(2)=98 in^3](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/physics/middle-school/fsrub05dj4w91wl2oka82ay2xv11kl9gxd.png)
