Remember the formula for the volume of a prism.

1 854 720 cubic yards

Practice makes perfect

First, recall that 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 know that an office building is built in the shape of a rectangular prism. We are given that l= 168 yards, w= 115 yards, and h= 96 yards, so we have enough information to calculate the value of V.

V=l wh
V= 168( 115)( 96)
V=1 854 720

The volume of the prism is 1 854 720 cubic yards.
