Question

What is the volume of the prism? Enter your answer in the box as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

The volume prism refers to the number of cubic units that will exactly fill the figure. The volume of a rectangular prism can be found or calculate by using the formula V=Bh, where B represents to the area of the base or in other words the length and width of the rectangle.

In this exercise is given that the measurements of a prism are 2ft, 3/2ft, and 3/2ft; and it is asked to find its volume. In order to find the volume of the prism, you should substitute the given values into the previous mention formula.
V=Bh
V=(2ft)(3/2ft)(3/2ft)
V=9/2ft^3 or 4 1/2ft^3

The volume of the prism is 4 1/2ft^3 as a mixed number.
