Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 6 feet, a height of 13 feet, and a width of 8 feet. What is its volume, in cubic feet?

Answer 1

To calculate the volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

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

Given the dimensions of the rectangular prism:
- Length = 6 feet
- Width = 8 feet
- Height = 13 feet

Plugging in these values into the formula:

\[
V = 6 \times 8 \times 13
\]

First, calculate \( 6 \times 8 \):

\[
6 \times 8 = 48
\]

Next, multiply this result by the height:

\[
48 \times 13
\]

To perform this multiplication:

\[
48 \times 13 = 624
\]

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

\[
\boxed{624} \text{ cubic feet}
\]
