Find the volume of the given prism, round to the nearest tenth of necessary
The formula to calculate the volume of a prism is V = Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the prism.
Given prism:
Base = rectangle
Length = 10 cm
Width = 5 cm
Height = 12 cm
First, calculate the area of the base:
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Area = 10 cm x 5 cm = 50 cm²
Now, calculate the volume of the prism:
V = Bh
V = 50 cm² x 12 cm
V = 600 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the given prism is 600 cubic centimeters.
