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

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Height} \]

Given:

  • Length = 2.5 ft
  • Width = 5 ft
  • Height = 3.5 ft

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 2.5 , \text{ft} \times 5 , \text{ft} \times 3.5 , \text{ft} \]

Calculating it step by step:

  1. Multiply the Length and Width: \[ 2.5 \times 5 = 12.5 , \text{ft}^2 \]

  2. Now multiply that result by the Height: \[ 12.5 , \text{ft}^2 \times 3.5 , \text{ft} = 43.75 , \text{ft}^3 \]

So, the volume of the right rectangular prism is:

\[ \text{Volume} = 43.75 , \text{ft}^3 \]

The correct response is:

43.75 ft.³ or 43.75 ft. cubed.
