112.5 ft.3
112.5 feet cubed

1,125 ft.3
1,125 feet cubed

15.5 ft.3
15.5 feet cubed

37.5 ft.3

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of a right rectangular prism, you use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given the dimensions of the container:

• Length = 7.5 feet
• Width = 5 feet
• Height = 3 feet

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 7.5 , \text{ft} \times 5 , \text{ft} \times 3 , \text{ft} \]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. \( 7.5 \times 5 = 37.5 \)
2. \( 37.5 \times 3 = 112.5 \)

Thus, the volume of the container is:

\[ 112.5 , \text{ft}^3 \text{ or } 112.5 \text{ feet cubed} \]

The correct response is:

112.5 ft.3 (or 112.5 feet cubed)
