Question

Find the volume of a prism that is 5 m long, 40 cm wide, and 2500 mm high.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.0 $m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular  prism is given as:

V = L * W * H

where L = length

W = width

H = height

Put all the dimensions in the same unit, metre (m).

Length = 5 m

Width = 40 cm = 40 / 100 = 0.4 m

Height = 2500 mm = 2500/1000 = 2.5 m

The volume of the prism is:

V = 5 * 0.4 * 2.5 = 5.0 $m^3$
