Question

A rectangle prism has a height of 6.5 cm, a width of 8 cm, and a length of 12.1 cm.

What is the volume of the prism

Answer 1

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

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

Given:
- Height = 6.5 cm
- Width = 8 cm
- Length = 12.1 cm

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 6.5 \, \text{cm} \times 8 \, \text{cm} \times 12.1 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating step-by-step:

1. Multiply the height and width:
\[
6.5 \times 8 = 52 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

2. Now, multiply the result by the length:
\[
52 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 12.1 \, \text{cm} = 629.2 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

\[
\boxed{629.2 \, \text{cm}^3}
\]
