fidn the volume of the prsim below with measurements of 6 ft 2.5 ft and 3.5 ft

1 answer

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

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

The measurements given are 6 ft, 2.5 ft, and 3.5 ft. However, we need to determine which measurements correspond to the base dimensions and which corresponds to the height.

Assuming that:

  • The base dimensions are 6 ft and 2.5 ft
  • The height of the prism is 3.5 ft

First, calculate the base area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 6 \text{ ft} \times 2.5 \text{ ft} = 15 \text{ ft}^2 \]

Next, calculate the volume of the prism:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} = 15 \text{ ft}^2 \times 3.5 \text{ ft} = 52.5 \text{ ft}^3 \]

Therefore, the volume of the prism is \( 52.5 , \text{ft}^3 \).
