Exercise 16 Page 645

Remember the formula for the volume of a prism.

37.125 cubic feet

Practice makes perfect

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is V = l w h, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism. 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 are given that l= 3 feet, w= 2 14 feet, and h= 5 12 feet, so we have enough information to calculate the value of V.
V=l wh
V= 3( 2 14)( 5 12)
V=3(2.25)(5.5)
V=37.125
The volume of the prism is about 37.125 cubic feet.
