A plastic storage bin is shaped like a rectangular prism. The height of the bin is 9 inches. The bottom of the bin has an area of 180 square inches.

Question

What is the volume of the storage bin?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, the base area of the storage bin is given as 180 square inches and the height is 9 inches.

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 180 , \text{in}^2 \times 9 , \text{in} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Volume} = 1620 , \text{in}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the storage bin is \( \boxed{1620} \) cubic inches.
