Question

On a recent math test, Carlos had to find the volume of the rectangular prism below. He gave the answer of 60 in3, which was marked incorrect. Help Carlos understand how to correctly find the volume of the prism.

A cube that is eight inches in length, ten inches in width, and six inches in height.

Answer 1

480 in

Explanation:

Rectangular Prism Formula :

V=whl

Which,

W = Width

H = Height

L = Length

Solve:

Given that:

Length = 8 in

Width = 10 in

Height = 6 in

Since the formula is:

V = whl

Then,

V = 8 × 10 × 6

V = 80 × 6

V = 480 in
