Question

A rectangular prism has a top face with an area of 20 ft. and a height of 5 ft. What is the volume of this rectangular prism?

Answer 1

Given:

A rectangular prism has a top face with an area of 20 ft² and a height of 5 ft.

We need to determine the volume of the rectangular prism.

Volume of the rectangular prism:

Let us determine the volume of the rectangular prism.

The volume of the rectangular prism can be determined using the formula,

`V=length * width * height`

where length × width = Area of the base of the rectangle.

Thus, the formula becomes,

`V= Area \ of \ base * height`

Substituting Area = 20 ft² and height = 5 ft, we get;

`V=20 * 5`

`V=100 \ ft^3`

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is 100³
