The height of a rectangular prism is 12 inches and it's base is a rectangle with an area of 5 square inches. What is the volume of the prism in cubic inches?
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
Given:
Base area = 5 square inches
Height = 12 inches
Volume = base area x height
Volume = 5 sq inches x 12 inches
Volume = 60 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 60 cubic inches.
