Question

What is the volume of the following rectangular prism?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the rectangular prism is $8\frac{1}{2}\ units^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

$V=BL$

where

B is the area of the base

L is the length of the prism

In this problem we have

$B=2\frac{1}{8}\ units^{2}=\frac{8*2+1}{8}=\frac{17}{8}\ units^{2}$

$L=4\ units$

substitute

$V=(\frac{17}{8})(4)=\frac{17}{2}=8\frac{1}{2}\ units^{3}$
