To calculate the volume of a square-based prism (a rectangular prism where the base is a square), we need the dimensions of the base and the height.
From your description, it seems you have three dimensions: 5 mm, 4 mm, and 7 mm. However, it’s unclear which dimension corresponds to the sides of the base and which corresponds to the height.
Assuming that 5 mm and 4 mm are the sides of the square base (which would not be the case for a square base as all sides must be equal), and then 7 mm is the height, the volume \( V \) would be calculated as:
\[
V = \text{base area} \times \text{height}
\]
For a square base, the area \( A \) would be calculated as:
\[
A = \text{side}^2
\]
Since the sides of the square base must be equal, let's choose 4 mm as a side length, and we will assume the height is 7 mm. Then the base area would be:
\[
A = 4 \, \text{mm} \times 4 \, \text{mm} = 16 \, \text{mm}^2
\]
Now, using the height of 5 mm:
\[
V = A \times \text{height} = 16 \, \text{mm}^2 \times 7 \, \text{mm} = 112 \, \text{mm}^3
\]
Therefore, if we assume 4 mm is one side of the square base and 7 mm is the height, the volume would be:
\[
\text{Volume} = 112 \, \text{mm}^3
\]
If you meant differently for the dimensions, please clarify and I can adjust the calculation.
