A prism has a length of 1.75 inches, height of 1.5 inches, and width of 2 inches.

What is the greatest number of cubic inches that could fit inside the prism?

You could fit (*Blank*) cubic inches inside the prism.

Answer 1

Answer: You could fit 5.25 cubic inches inside the prism.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of the rectangular prism:

Volume (V) = Length x width x height

Replacing with the values given:

V = 1.75 in x 2 in x 1.5 in

Solving for V:

V = 5.25 cubic inches

You could fit 5.25 cubic inches inside the prism.

Answer 2

You could fit 5.25 cubic inches inside the prism.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of cubic inches that could fit in the prism we first need to calculate it's volume, this is given by the formula below:

volume = length*width*height

Applying the data from the question:

volume = 1.75*1.5*2

volume = 5.25 inches³

Thefore you could fit 5.25 cubic inches inside the prism.
