A block of marble is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The block is 3 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 18 inches high. What is the block? Volume of the block?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Volume of the rectangular Prism= [tex]9 feet^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a rectangular prism= Length*Width*Height

Given ;

  [tex]Length =[/tex][tex]3 ft[/tex]

   [tex]Width=[/tex][tex]2 ft.[/tex]

   [tex]Height=[/tex] [tex]18 inches = 1.5 ft.[/tex]                   [tex]:1 ft = 12 inches[/tex]

Volume of the rectangular prism:        

                                               [tex]=3*2*1.5\\=6*1.5\\=9.0feet^3[/tex]

So, the volume of the rectangular prism with the given dimensions is [tex]9 feet^3[/tex]

Answer: The volume of the rectangular prism is 9 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = LWH

Where

L represents the length of the rectangular prism.

W represents the width of the rectangular prism.

H represents the height of the rectangular prism.

From the information given,

L = 3 feet

W = 2 feet

H = 18 inches

We would convert 18 inches to feet

12 inches = 1 feet

18 inches = (18 × 1)/12 = 1.5 feet

The volume of the rectangular prism would be

3 × 2 × 1.5 = 9 feet²
