To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we can use the formula [ V = l * w * h ]
V = 5 * 2 1/2 * 1 1/2
V = 12 1/2 * 1 1/2
V = 18 3/4cm³
Now that we know the volume, we can check each answer choice.
Option A:
5 ∙ 2 1/2 ∙ 1 1/2
12 1/2 * 1 1/2
18 3/4cm³
Option B:
12 1/2 ∙ 1 1/2
18 3/4cm³
Option C:
1 1/2(5 + 2 1/2)
1 1/2(7 1/2)
11 1/4cm³
Option D:
 1/2(12 1/2 ∙ 1 1/2)
1/2(18 3/4)
9 3/8cm³
Therefore, the only correct options are A and B.
Best of Luck!
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
D), I believe it is -42. Correct me if im wrong :}
        
                    
             
        
        
        
(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect
