Mitchell's family is moving across town. They are busy packing their furniture into a moving van. The storage space in the moving van is shaped like a rectangular prism. It has a floor area of 14 square meters and a height of 2 meters. What is the volume of the moving van's storage space?

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

We are given the floor area of the rectangular prism as 14 square meters. The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = lw. So we can say that lw = 14.

We are also given the height of the rectangular prism as 2 meters. So we can substitute these values into the formula for the volume:

V = lwh
V = (lw)(h)
V = (14)(2)
V = 28

Therefore, the volume of the moving van's storage space is 28 cubic meters.
