Question

What is the volume of the following rectangular prism?

Answer 1

14 2/3

How:

7 1/3 times 2 is 14 2/3

Answer 2

Answer:  The required volume of the given rectangular prism is $14\dfrac{2}{3}~\textup{cubic units}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the volume of the rectangular prism shown in the figure.

We know that

the VOLUME of a rectangular prism with base area b sq. units and height h units is given by

$A=bh.$

For the given rectangular prism, we have

$b=7\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{22}{3},~~h=2.$

Therefore, the VOLUME of the given rectangular prism is

$A=bh=\dfrac{22}{3}\times2=\dfrac{44}{3}=14\dfrac{2}{3}.$

Thus, the required volume of the given rectangular prism is $14\dfrac{2}{3}~\textup{cubic units}.$
