Using the formula V=B×h , what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 7 1/4 m, a width of 10 1/2 m, and a height of 12 2./5 m? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.(
V = B x h
V = (7 1/4) x (10 1/2) x (12 2/5)
V = (29/4) x (21/2) x (62/5)
V = (6090/20)
V = 304.5
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 304 1/2 cubic meters.
Using the formula V=B×h , what is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 7 1/4 m, a width of 10 1/2 m, and a height of 12 2/5 m? Your answer should be a mixed number in simplest form.
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we use the formula V = B x h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
Given:
Length = 7 1/4 m = 29/4 m
Width = 10 1/2 m = 21/2 m
Height = 12 2/5 m = 62/5 m
Area of the base, B = Length x Width
B = (29/4) x (21/2)
B = (609/8)
Now, we can find the volume:
V = B x h
V = (609/8) x (62/5)
V = (37758/40)
V = 944.45
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 944 9/10 cubic meters.
