trying to verify the volume of a rectanguler prism
h=10 inches
w=2
and the formula to find the volume is l.w.h
not a math genius just trying to make sure i am calculating this correctly
to find the lengh we had to divide the width of the prism so 2 inches divided by 4 =0.5 which pretty much is 1/2
1x1x10=10
2x2x1=4 =2.5
10 divided 2.5=4
You do not state relationship between width and length.
I gave the dimenions of the height and the width I need to find the length in order to calculate the volume . I even did the problem all I asked was that you verified if I did it right in order to find the length.
Your response I did not state the relationship between the width and the length. The relationship is it is a rectangular prism
Why do you divide the width by 4? Is That because the length is 1/4W?
To verify the volume of a rectangular prism, you need to use the formula V = l * w * h, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
Given that h = 10 inches, w = 2 inches, and you want to calculate the length (l), you mentioned that you divided the width by 4, which gave you 0.5. However, dividing the width by 4 does not give the length.
The length of a rectangular prism is generally a separate measurement and cannot be determined by dividing the width by a specific number. It would help if you had the actual length measurement provided.
Once you have the correct length, you can substitute the values into the formula:
V = l * w * h
Let's assume the length (l) is 4 inches:
V = 4 * 2 * 10
V = 80 cubic inches
So, the volume of the rectangular prism with a length of 4 inches, width of 2 inches, and height of 10 inches is 80 cubic inches.
