A rectangular prism has a length of 3 1/2 inches, a width of 5 inches, and a height of 1 1/2 inches. What is the volume of the prism? Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number or a decimal

Respuesta :

Answer:

Volume of the rectangular prism =  26.25 inch³

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data :-

  • Length of the prism ( P ) = [tex]3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}[/tex] inches.
  • Width of the prism ( Q ) = 5 inches.
  • Height of the prism ( R ) = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] inches.

Solution :-

Volume of the rectangular prism = P * Q * R = [tex]\frac{7}{2}*5*\frac{3}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{105}{4}[/tex] = 26.25 inch³

Volume of the rectangular prism =  26.25 inch³
