Question

A rectangular prism has the following dimensions:

Length: 6.3 cm

Width: 6.2 cm

Height: 2.1 cm

Find the volume.

• A. $80.03c{m}^3$
• B. $81.06c{m}^3$
• C. $82.03c{m}^3$
• D. $84.03c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $82.03c{m}^3$

Given that the dimensions are: 6.3cm, 6.2cm, and 2.1cm and that the volume of a rectangular prism can be given by the equation:

v=l⋅w⋅h, where l is length, w is width, and h is height, the volume can be simply solved by substituting in the values.

$V=\left(6.3\right)\left(6.2\right)\left(2.1\right)$

$V=\left(39.06\right)\left(2.1\right)$

$V=82.026c{m}^3$

This final value can be approximated to $82.03c{m}^3$.
