Question

Question Statement: Find the volume of the prism.

Answer 1

Hint: Identify the type of the prism and remember the formula of the volume of the prism.

Step : Find the volume of the prism.

The volume $V$ of the prism is the product of the area of the base and the height of the prism. Here, the given prism is the rectangular prism as the bases are rectangular in shape.

The formula of the volume of the prism is given by: $V=Bh$

Where $B$ is the area of the base & $h$ is the height of the prism.

In this figure base is rectangular & Area of base, $A=l\times w$

From figure, the length (l) is $7inch$ , width (w) is $3inch$ in & height (h) is $8inch$ .

Let’s put the values in the formula,

$V=B·h$
$$\begin{gathered} =7\left(3\right)\times 8 \\ =21\times 8 \\ =268 \end{gathered}$$

Hence,the volume is $268$ cubic inches.
