Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 20 meters, a height of 18 meters, and a width of 19 meters. What is its volume, in cubic meters?

Answer 1

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

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

Given the dimensions of the prism:
- Length = 20 meters
- Width = 19 meters
- Height = 18 meters

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = 20 \, \text{m} \times 19 \, \text{m} \times 18 \, \text{m}
\]

Now, we can calculate it step by step:

1. First, calculate \(20 \times 19\):

\[
20 \times 19 = 380
\]

2. Next, multiply this result by 18:

\[
380 \times 18 = 6840
\]

Thus, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

\[
\text{Volume} = 6840 \, \text{cubic meters}
\]

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is \( \boxed{6840} \) cubic meters.
