What is the volume of a rectangular prisim with a length of 5 1/2 ft, a height of 2 1/4 ft, and a width of 2 1/2 ft?
*
30 15/16 cubic feet
10 1/2 cubic feet
3 1/8 cubic feet
20 1/16 cubic feet
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
Volume = Length x Width x Height
In this case, the length is 5 1/2 ft, the width is 2 1/2 ft, and the height is 2 1/4 ft.
Volume = (11/2) x (5/2) x (9/4)
Volume = (55/4) x (5/2)
Volume = 275/8
Volume = 34 3/8
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 34 3/8 cubic feet.
