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= 4.5, w= 4.5, and h= 4.5, so we have enough information to calculate the value of V.
The volume of the prism is approximately 91.1 cubic meters.
Surface Area
To calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism, we can use the following formula.
S=2(l w+l h+wh)
The terms inside the parentheses represent the area of the three possible different sized faces. Each term is multiplied by 2 because opposite faces on a rectangular prism have equal dimensions. These are the same dimensions as used above, so we will substitute them into our new formula to calculate S.
