Question

The prism below is made of cubes which measure of a foot on one side. What is the volume of the prism?


Note: Figure is not drawn to scale.
A.
cu ft
B.
cu ft
C.
cu ft
D.
cu ft

Answer 1

I don’t have the figure or the side-length value (they’re missing from the problem statement and the answer choices are blank), so I can’t compute the numeric volume yet.

How to finish it once you have the missing information:
- Count the number N of small unit cubes that make up the prism (from the figure).
- Let s be the side length of each small cube (in feet).
- Volume of one small cube = s^3 (cu ft). So prism volume = N · s^3.

Example: if the prism contains 24 small cubes and each cube is 1/2 ft on a side, volume = 24 · (1/2)^3 = 24 · 1/8 = 3 cubic feet.

Send the figure or the side-length and number of small cubes (or the answer choices) and I’ll compute the exact answer.
