The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length, width, and height.

4.2in.^3

Practice makes perfect

Let's consider the given rectangular prism.

We want to the volume of the rectangular prism. Recall that the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its length l, width w, and height h. V = l w h In this prism, l = 1 25, w= 1, and h= 3. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume of the prism!

V = l w h
V = 1 25 (1) (3)
V = (1 + 2/5)(1)(3)
V = (1 + 0.4)(1)(3)
V = (1.4)(1)(3)
V = 4.2

The volume of the rectangular prism is 4.2 cubic inches.
