Answer 1

Answer: 90 inches

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Volume of a rectangular prism =area of the base x length

Area of the base is the area of a triangle:

Area of a triangle = base x height x 1/2

Replacing with the values given:

A = 4 x 3 x 1/2 = 6 in2

Back on the volume formula:

V = A x h = 6 x 15 = 90 cubic inches
