Question

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 8 meters, a width of 5 meters and a height of 3 meters

Answer 1

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]

Given:
- Length = 8 meters
- Width = 5 meters
- Height = 3 meters

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
V = 8 \, \text{m} \times 5 \, \text{m} \times 3 \, \text{m}
\]

Calculating this step by step:

1. Calculate \( 8 \times 5 = 40 \)
2. Then, \( 40 \times 3 = 120 \)

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

\[
V = 120 \, \text{cubic meters}
\]

So, the volume is \( 120 \, \text{m}^3 \).
