Question

The area of the base of a water container in the shape of a rectangular prism is 28 feet square. The height of the container is 2 ½ feet. What is the volume of the container?

Answer 1

The volume of the container is 70ft³

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism we have to use the following formula:

a = area = 28ft²

v = volume

w = width

l = length

h = height 2 ½ ft

a = l * w

v = w * h * l

v = a* h

v = 28ft² * 2 ½ ft 2 ½ = 2.5

v = 28ft² * 2.5ft

v = 70ft³

The volume of the container is 70ft³
