The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula V = l x w x h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values given:
V = 2 ft. x (31½-½) ft x 2½ ft.
V = 2 ft. x 31 ft x 2½ ft.
V = 2(ft.) x 31(ft.) x 5/2(ft.)
V = 62 ft x 31 ft x 5/2 ft
V = 961.25 ft³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 961.25 ft³ which can be written as 961 ¼ ft³ in mixed number form.
What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a height of 2½ ft., a
