The formula of finding volume is <em>l x w x h</em>.
So now just plug in the numbers they gave.
5 x 10 x 2 = 100.
The volume of the rectangular prism is 100 ft^3.
A. The number of fabric-pattern-color combinations is 4 * 13 * 9 = 468
B. P(1st choice) = no of novels / total books = 3/6 = 1/2
P(2nd choice) = no of remaining novels/ total remaining books = 2/5
P(both novels) = 1/2 * 2/5 = 1/5 (without replacement assumed)
C. P(1st choice) = no of biographies / total books = 2/6 = 1/3
P(2nd choice) = no of remaining biographies/ total remaining books = 1/5
P(both biographies) = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15 (without replacement assumed)
D. P(1st choice) = no of history books / total books = 1/6
P(2nd choice) = no of novels/ total remaining books = 3/5
P(a history, then a novel) = 1/6 * 3/5 = 1/10 (without replacement assumed)
