The volume of the locker is in.2

Answer 1

Volume = (2890 and 5/8) inches^3

Explanation:

Height = 12 and 1/2inches = 25/2

Width = 12 and 1/2inches = 25/2

Length = 6 inches > width = 6 + width

= 6 + (12 and 1/2) = 18 and 1/2

Length = 18 and 1/2 inches = 37/2

Volume of prism = length × breadth × height

Volume of rectangular prism = (25/2)×(25/2)×(37/2)

Volume of rectangular prism = (23125/8) inches^3

Volume of rectangular prism = (2890 and 5/8) inches^3
