Exercise 10 Page 436

Remember the formula for the volume of a prism.

97.175 in^3

Practice makes perfect

We know that the following rectangular prism has the area of the base equal to 8.45 square inches.

We are asked to find its volume. The volume of a prism is found by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the prism. V=Bh We know that B is equal 8.45 and from the given graph we know that the height h is 11.5 inches. Let's substitute!

V=Bh
V=( 8.45)( 11.5)
V=97.175

The volume of the prism is 97.175 in^3.
