Applying the formula V = B x h, what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 11 1/5 in., a width of 9 1/2 in., and a height of 8 1/2in.? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you multiply the base (length times width) by the height.

Base = length x width
Base = (11 1/5) x (9 1/2)
Base = (56/5) x (19/2)
Base = (56 * 19) / (5 * 2)
Base = 1064 / 10
Base = 106.4 square inches

Now, multiply the base by the height to find the volume:

Volume = Base x height
Volume = 106.4 x 8 1/2
Volume = 106.4 x 17/2
Volume = (106.4 x 17) / 2
Volume = 1808.8 / 2
Volume = 904.4 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 904.4 cubic inches.
