Question

If a = 2.4 units, b = 4 units, c = 5 units, and d = 7 units, what is the volume of the two prisms?
A.
140.8 cubic units
B.
224 cubic units
C.
108.8 cubic units
D.
96 cubic units

Answer 1

To find the volume of a prism, you need to multiply the area of the base by the height.

For the first prism with dimensions a = 2.4 units, b = 4 units, and c = 5 units:

Volume = (a * b) * c
Volume = (2.4 * 4) * 5
Volume = 9.6 * 5
Volume = 48

For the second prism with dimensions a = 2.4 units, b = 4 units, and d = 7 units:

Volume = (a * b) * d
Volume = (2.4 * 4) * 7
Volume = 9.6 * 7
Volume = 67.2

Adding the volumes of the two prisms:

48 + 67.2 = 115.2 cubic units

So, the closest option is:

C. 108.8 cubic units
