Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 518 feet, a width of 712 feet, and a height of 2 feet. What is the volume of the prism?

Answer 1

To solve for the volume of a rectangular prism, you must multiply the length, height, and width, or L*W*H=volume.

Here's what we know: length= 518 feet
                                    width= 712 feet
                                    height= 2 feet

Solve: 518*712= 368,816
           368,816*2=737,632
           Volume=732,632

The volume of the rectangular prism is the product of the length, height, and width, or in this case, 732,632 cubic feet.
