Question

Lily built a rectangular prism with cubes. The area of the base is 16 connecting cubes. It is 6 layers high what is the volume of his rectangular prism?

Answer 1

Volume of prism is equal to
`96` units

Explanation:

let the side of the cube be of one unit.

Then, the area of the base is equal to
`16` connecting cubes

Assuming a square base of the rectangular prism.

Length of one side of the base of rectangular prism
`= 4` units

Similarly, width of the base of rectangular prism
`= 4` units

The height of the rectangular prism is
`6` units

Volume of the prim
`=` Length
`*` Width
`*` Height

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

`V = 4* 4* 6\\V = 96`

Volume of prism is equal to
`96` units
