Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 5.5 cm, a width of 10 cm, and a height of 3.5 cm.

A prism has a length of 5.5 centimeters, width of 10 centimeters, and height of 3.5 centimeters.

What is the volume of the prism?
19 cm3
55 cm3
58.5 cm3
192.5 cm3

Answer 1

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

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

Substituting the given dimensions:

- Length = 5.5 cm
- Width = 10 cm
- Height = 3.5 cm

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Volume} = 5.5 \, \text{cm} \times 10 \, \text{cm} \times 3.5 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating step-by-step:

1. Calculate \(5.5 \times 10 = 55\)
2. Then multiply by \(3.5\):

\[
55 \times 3.5 = 192.5 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the prism is:

\[
\boxed{192.5 \, \text{cm}^3}
\]
