Using the formula the equals B times H what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 10 and two fits inch a width of 8 1/2 inch and a height of 6 1/4 inch your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

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

Volume = B x H

Given the dimensions:
Length (L) = 10 inches
Width (W) = 8 1/2 inches = 17/2 inches
Height (H) = 6 1/4 inches = 25/4 inches

Multiply the width and height to find the area of the base (B):
B = (17/2) x (25/4)
B = 425/8

Now, multiply the area of the base (B) by the height (H) to find the volume:
Volume = (425/8) x (25/4)
Volume = 10625/32

The volume of the rectangular prism is 10625/32 cubic inches. This can be simplified to 332 1/32 cubic inches.
