Applying the formula V=B×h , what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 11 1/5 in., a width of 9 1/2 in., and a height of 8 1/2 in.? Make it a mixed number
To find the volume of the rectangular prism, we multiply the length (11 1/5), width (9 1/2), and height (8 1/2) together using the formula V = B x h.
Length = 11 1/5 = 11 + 1/5 = 55/5 + 1/5 = 56/5
Width = 9 1/2 = 9 + 1/2 = 45/5 + 1/2 = 47/2
Height = 8 1/2 = 8 + 1/2 = 40/5 + 1/2 = 41/2
V = (56/5) x (47/2) x (41/2)
V = (56 x 47 x 41) / (5 x 2 x 2)
V = 116576 / 20
V = 5828
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 5828 cubic inches.
