You find the volume of the right rectangular prism using the formula method and want to check your answer using the cube method. What is the edge length of the cubes you will use? Lengths are given in inches. Provide your answer as a fraction reduced to the lowest terms.

Answer 1

To find the edge length of the cubes you will use in the cube method to check the volume of the right rectangular prism, you need to find the greatest common factor of the dimensions of the prism.

The dimensions of the prism are:
Length = 6 inches
Width = 3 inches
Height = 4 inches

The greatest common factor of 6, 3, and 4 is 1. Therefore, you will use cubes with an edge length of 1 inch to check the volume of the prism.
