Answer 1

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

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

In this case, the dimensions of the container are:

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

Now, plug in the values:

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

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. First, multiply the length and width: \[ 7.5 \times 5 = 37.5 , \text{ft}^2 \]

2. Then, multiply the result by the height: \[ 37.5 , \text{ft}^2 \times 3 , \text{ft} = 112.5 , \text{ft}^3 \]

So, the volume of the container is \( 112.5 , \text{ft}^3 \).

The correct response is:

112.5 ft.³
