Question

The area of the base of a rectangular prism is 36 cm2. The height of the prism is 3 5 6 cm. What is the volume of the prism? A) 39 5 6 cm3 B) 60 2 3 cm3 C) 72 1 4 cm3 D) 138 cm3

Answer 1

The volume of the rectangular prism is;

D) 138 cm²

Explanation:

Here we have the area of the base of the rectangular prism = 36 cm²

Height of the rectangular prism =
`3(5)/(6) \, cm`

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is given by;

Volume = base of rectangular prism × height of rectangular prism

Volume of the rectangular prism = 36 cm² ×
`3(5)/(6) \, cm`

Volume of the rectangular prism =
`36 * (23)/(6) = 138 \, cm^2`.
