Question

What is the volume, in cubic feet, of a rectangular prism with a height of 9 feet, a width of 2 feet, and a length of 20 feet?

Answer 1

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

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

In this case, we have:

- Height = 9 feet
- Width = 2 feet
- Length = 20 feet

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Volume} = 20 \, \text{feet} \times 2 \, \text{feet} \times 9 \, \text{feet}
\]

Calculating step-by-step:

1. First, multiply the length and the width:

\[
20 \, \text{feet} \times 2 \, \text{feet} = 40 \, \text{square feet}
\]

2. Next, multiply the result by the height:

\[
40 \, \text{square feet} \times 9 \, \text{feet} = 360 \, \text{cubic feet}
\]

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is

\[
\boxed{360} \, \text{cubic feet}
\]
