Question

Keyshawn needs to fill a container with cement. The container is in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The container has a length of 7.5 feet, a width of 5 feet , and a height of 3 feet. What is the volume of the container?

Answers:

37.5 ft.^3

15.5 ft.^3

1,125 ft.^3

112.5 ft.^3

Answer 1

To find the volume of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height}
\]

For Keyshawn's container:

- Length = 7.5 feet
- Width = 5 feet
- Height = 3 feet

Now, plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Volume} = 7.5 \, \text{ft} \times 5 \, \text{ft} \times 3 \, \text{ft}
\]

First, calculate \( 7.5 \times 5 \):

\[
7.5 \times 5 = 37.5
\]

Now, multiply that result by 3:

\[
37.5 \times 3 = 112.5
\]

Therefore, the volume of the container is \( 112.5 \, \text{ft}^3 \).

The correct answer is:

**112.5 ft³**
