Question

The bases of a right prism are rhombi with area A = 44 cm2. The height of the prism is h=2.3 dm. Find the volume V of the prism.

Answer 1

The volume is 1012 cm³.

The volume of a right prism is found by multiplying the area of the base and the height.  First we need to convert the height to centimeters.

1 dm = 10 cm
2.3 dm = 2.3(10) = 23 cm

Now we have 44(23) = 1012 cm³
