To calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]
In this case:
- Length = 5 feet
- Width = 2.5 feet
- Height = 3.5 feet
Now, substituting these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Volume} = 5 , \text{ft} \times 2.5 , \text{ft} \times 3.5 , \text{ft} \]
Calculating step by step:
- First, calculate the area of the base (length × width):
\[ 5 , \text{ft} \times 2.5 , \text{ft} = 12.5 , \text{ft}^2 \]
- Next, multiply the area of the base by the height:
\[ 12.5 , \text{ft}^2 \times 3.5 , \text{ft} = 43.75 , \text{ft}^3 \]
Thus, the volume of the right rectangular prism is
\[ 43.75 , \text{ft}^3 \]
So the correct response is:
43.75 ft.³ or 43.75 ft. cubed.
