One student multiplies the edge lengths of a right rectangular prism to get the a volume of 7/8 cubic units. What is one way to check that the volume is correct?(1 point)
Multiply the edge length of one cube.
Count the number of 1/8-inch cubes that will fit inside the prism.
Use the formula method to see if the volume is the same.
Use the cube method to see if the volume is the same.
Use the formula method to see if the volume is the same.
it was D actually
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct, the option D "Use the cube method to see if the volume is the same" is one way to check that the volume is correct. The cube method involves dividing the rectangular prism into unit cubes and counting the total number of cubes, which should equal the volume obtained through multiplication. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
One way to check if the volume of the right rectangular prism is correct is to use the formula method. The formula for finding the volume of a right rectangular prism is V = lwh, where "V" represents the volume, "l" represents the length, "w" represents the width, and "h" represents the height.
To check if the volume is correct using the formula method, you would need to know the lengths of all three edges of the prism. If you have these measurements, you can substitute them into the formula and calculate the volume. For example, if the length is 2 units, the width is 4 units, and the height is 1/8 units, you would calculate:
V = (2)(4)(1/8) = 1/4 cubic units.
By using the formula method, you can compare your calculated volume with the given volume of 7/8 cubic units. If they match, it confirms that the volume is correct.
