Question

3

Find the volume of the prism. *
1.5 m
2 m
4 m

Answer choices are:
A) 8m^3
B) 12m^3
C)10m^3
6m^3

Answer 1

`12m^(3)`

Explanation:

Multiply all the variables together to get the answer (only for rectangular prism).

• So I basically did 4 x 2 x 1.5 = 12
• Then I applied the unit of measurement and cubic meters as it is volume.
• The formula is length x width x height

Answer 2

1. The volume of the prism is 12m³ ( option B)

2. The volume of the prism is 288.3 ft

The volume of a prism is generally expressed as;

V = bh

where b is the base area and h is the height of the prism.

1. The prism Is a cuboid, the volume of the cuboid is = lwh

where l is the length and w is the width and h is the height.

V = 4 × 2 × 1.5

V = 12 m³

2. The prism is a cylinder

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × 3² × 10.2

V = 288.3ft³
