The square shown represents the base of a rectangular prism.
1.1 m
The height of the prism is 5 meters. What is the volume of the prism in cubic meters?
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we multiply the area of the base by the height.
The area of the base is the area of the square, which is given as 1.1m. Since a square has equal sides, the length of each side of the square is √(1.1m).
The volume of the prism is then (1.1m) * (√(1.1m)) * 5m.
Simplifying further, we get the volume as (1.1 * 5 * √1.1)m^3.
Calculating this value, we find the volume of the prism is approximately 6.129m^3.
