Exercise 31 Page 626

Use the formula for the volume of a prism.

158.4m^3

Practice makes perfect
We are told that a rectangular prism has a length of 5.5 meters, a width of 4 meters, and a height of 7.2 meters. With this in mind, we want to find its volume. To do it, we can use the following formula. V=l wh In this formula, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of the prism. Let's substitute the sides of the given prism into the formula and calculate S.
V=l wh
V= 5.5( 4)( 7.2)
V=158.4
The volume is 158.4m^3.
