The formula for volume of a PRISM is V=(area of the base) x (height of prism)
Part 1: Find the area of the BOTTOM of the rectangular prism: Area = __ in^2
Part 2: What is the height of the prism? __ in
Part 3: Find the volume of the rectangular prism using V=(area of the base) x (height of prism) = __ in^3
What are the correct answers to the 3 parts
Part 1: Find the area of the BOTTOM of the rectangular prism: Let's assume the base of the prism is a rectangle with length 4 inches and width 3 inches.
Area = Length x Width = 4 in x 3 in = 12 in^2
Part 2: The height of the prism is 6 inches.
Part 3: Find the volume of the rectangular prism using V=(area of the base) x (height of the prism)
V = 12 in^2 x 6 in = 72 in^3
Therefore, the correct answers are:
Part 1: Area = 12 in^2
Part 2: Height = 6 in
Part 3: Volume = 72 in^3
