Question

A stick of butter in the shape of a rectangular prism has a length of 8 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a height of 3 inches. What is the volume of the stick of butter?

Answer 1

`72in^3`

Explanation:

the information we know about the shape of the stick of butter:

`length = 8in`

`width = 3in`

`height=3in`

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

`volume=length*width*height`

we find the volume by multiplying ll the measurements of the stick.

So we substitute the values to find the volume and we get the following:

`volume=8in*3in*3in\\volume=72in^3`

the volume of the stick of butter is
`72in^3`
