Question

A rectangle prism is 8 inches long and 5 inches wide. It is filled with water up to 2 inches below the top. The height of the water in the prism is 4 inches. What is the value of the rectangle prism?

Answer 1

The volume of the rectangular prism is 240 in³

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the prism, l = 8 in

Width of the prism, w = 5 in

Height of the prism, h = 2 + 4 in

                                 h = 6 in

Volume of the rectangular prism = length X width X height

V = 8 in X 5 in X 6 in

V = 240 in³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 240 in³
