Question

The rectangular prism is made of 8 cubes and has and edge length of 1/2 in, what is the volume

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the volume of the prism you first have to find the volume of a cube

To do this you use the equation

$V = a^{3}$

V is volume
a is side length

Put in the values you know

$V = \frac{1}{2}^{3}$

Solve

V = 0.125

Now to find the volume of the prism you multiply the volume of one cube by the amount of cubes in the prism

0.125 * 8 = 1

The answer is 1 cubic inch

Hope this helps!
