To find the volume of the prism, we need to multiply the area of the base by the height.
The base of the prism is made up of 6 cubes arranged in a rectangle, so its area is:
Base area = length x width
Length = 2 cubes = 1 foot
Width = 3 cubes = 1.5 feet
Base area = 1 x 1.5 = 1.5 square feet
The height of the prism is also 1.5 feet, since it is made up of 3 layers of cubes stacked on top of each other.
Therefore, the volume of the prism is:
Volume = base area x height
Volume = 1.5 square feet x 1.5 feet
Volume = 2.25 cubic feet
So the answer is not listed among the options, but the correct answer is 2.25 cu.
the prism below is made of cubes which measure 1/2 of a foot on one side. What is the volume of the prism?
