Question

What is the volume of the rectangular prism below/described? (Don't forget to label your answer!)


Length= 4 1/2 in. Width= 5 in. Height= 3 3/4 in.

The volume of the prism is ___.
(hint: in2 is inches squared; in3 is inches cubed)
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume = Length times width times height.

Here,

Volume = (4.5 in)(5 in)(3.75 in), which, when evaluated by calculator, comes out to 84.375 cubic inches.

This is equivalent to 84 3/8 cubic inches.

Answer 2

`84(3)/(8)in^3`

Explanation:

V = L * W * H

V = 4 1/2 * 5 * 3 3/4

V = 9/2 * 5/1 * 15/4

V = 675/8

V = 84 3/8
