Remember the formulas for the volume of a prism.

3 38 in.^3

Practice makes perfect

Let's see the given measurements on the rectangular prism.

The volume of a rectangular prism with length l, width w, and height h can be calculated using the following formula. V=l wh We have been given that l= 1 12, w= 1 12, and h= 1 12, so we have enough information to calculate the value of V.
V=l wh
V= 1 12( 1 12)( 1 12)
â–Ľ
Write mixed number as a fraction
V = ( 1 + 1/2) ( 1 + 1/2) ( 1 + 1/2)
V = ( 2/2 + 1/2) ( 2/2 + 1/2) ( 2/2 + 1/2)
V = 3/2( 3/2) ( 3/2)
V = 3*3*3/2*2*2
V=27/8
â–Ľ
Write fraction as a mixed number
V=24+3/8
V=24/8+3/8
V=3+3/8
V=3 38
The volume of the prism is 3 38 in.^3.
