Question

A prism is filled with 70 cubes with a side length of 1 2 unit. What is the volume of the prism in cubic units? Enter answer as a mixed number in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the cube is;

$8\dfrac{3}{4} \ cube \, units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters of the prism are;

The number of cubes used to fill the prism, n = 70 cubes

The side length of each cube, s = 1/2 unit

The volume of the cube, V = n × s³

∴ Therefore, the volume of the cube, V = 70 × (1/2)³ = $8\dfrac{3}{4} \ cube \, units$ = 8.75 cube unit
