Question

There is a rectangular prism that can fit 28 cubes with edge lengths of 1/2 inch each. What is the volume of this rectangular prism? (20 pts)

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5 inch^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cube: V = s^2,

where V = volume, and s = length of side or edge.

The volume of the prism is the same as the volume of 28 cubes with edge length of 1/2 inch. To find the volume of the prism, find the volume of one cube and multiply by 28.

volume of prism = 28 * volume of cube

volume of prism = 28 * (1/2 inch)^3

volume of prism = 28 * 1/8 inch^3

volume of prism = 3.5 inch^3
