Question

The area of the base of a rectangular prism is 36 cm2. The height of the prism is 3 5/6 cm. What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

the answer is D) 138 cm3

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (C) 36 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the volume of a rectangular prism with base area 36 cm² and height $3\frac{5}{6}~\textup{cm}.$

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism with base area b sq. units and height h units is given by

$V=bh.$

Here,

base area, b = 36 cm²

and

height is

$h=3\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{23}{6}~\textup{cm}.$

Therefore, the VOLUME of the given prism will be

$V=bh=36\times \dfrac{23}{6}=6\times 23=138~\textup{cm}^3.$

Thus, the volume of the given rectangular prism is 36 cm².

Option (D) is CORRECT.
