The volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]
From your provided dimensions:
- Length = 5 feet
- Width = 2.5 feet
- Height = 3.5 feet
Now, substitute these values into the formula:
\[
V = 5 \, \text{feet} \times 2.5 \, \text{feet} \times 3.5 \, \text{feet}
\]
First, calculate \( 5 \times 2.5 \):
\[
5 \times 2.5 = 12.5 \, \text{square feet}
\]
Next, multiply this result by the height (3.5 feet):
\[
12.5 \, \text{square feet} \times 3.5 \, \text{feet} = 43.75 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]
Therefore, the volume of the right rectangular prism is:
\[
V = 43.75 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]
\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]
