Question

A manufacturer makes plastic containers in the shape of rectangular prisms. One container has a height of 5 inches, a width of LaTeX: \frac{2}{7}2 7 inch, and a length of 2 inches. Find the volume of the container.

Answer 1

The volume of the container is 270 cubic inches

Explanation:

Let the length of the rectangular prism is 'L' and the width be 'w' and the height be 'h'.

The volume of the rectangular prism be V

Given that,

W= 27 inches

H = 5 inches

L = 2 inches

The volume of the rectangular prism can be calculated by,

V = w x h x L

V = 27 x 5 x 2

V = 270 cubic inches
