Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 412 centimeters, a width of 412 centimeters, and a height of 6 centimeters. Sally has a storage container for the prism that has a volume of 143 cubic centimeters.



What is the difference between the volume of the prism and the volume of the storage container?



Enter your answer in the box as a simplified mixed number or a decimal.


cm³

Answer 1

Answer: First find the volume of the rectangle prism. Do this by multiplying all three dimensions. 412 x 412 x 6 = 1,018,464.

Subtract 1,018,464 from 143.

You should get 1,018,321 mm^3

(Remember that the units are cubed because you multipled 412 mm x 412 mm x 6 mm which is multiplying not only the numbers, but the mm three times as well.)
