Answer 1

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

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

For Keysha's container:

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

Now, we can calculate:

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

Calculating step-by-step:

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

2. Now, multiply the result by the height: \[ 37.5 \times 3 = 112.5 , \text{cubic feet} \]

So the volume of the container is 112.5 ft³ (cubic feet).

The correct response is: 112.5 ft.³ (112.5 feet cubed).
