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.(1 point)
m3
MIXED NUMBER NOT 180!!
The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the base area (length × width) by 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
Base Area = Length × Width = (29/4) m × (21/2) m = 609/8 m^2
Volume = Base Area × Height = (609/8) m^2 × (62/5) m = 18858/40 m^3 = 471.45 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 471.45 m^3 or 471 9/20 m^3.
