To calculate the volume of a prism, you need to multiply the base area of the prism by its height.
In this case, the base area of the prism is the area of the rectangle, which is the length multiplied by the width (15 inches x 5 inches = 75 square inches).
The height of the prism is given as 6 inches.
Therefore, the calculation to find the volume of the prism is:
Volume = Base area x Height
Volume = 75 square inches x 6 inches
Volume = 450 cubic inches
So, the volume of the prism is 450 cubic inches.
The base of a prism is a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is
inches, and the width of the rectangle is 5 inches. The height of the prism is
inches. Which calculation gives the volume of the prism?
