Question

The square below represents the dimensions of a base of a rectangular prism.3 cmThe height of the rectangular prism is 15 cm. What is the volume of the prism in cubic centimeters?

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} V_{rec\tan gular\text{ prism}}=length\text{ }\times width\times height \\ \end{gathered}$

Since the base of the rectangular prism is a square, then;

length = width = 3cm and height = 15cm

Then;

$\begin{gathered} V_{rectagular\text{ prism}}=3\operatorname{cm}\times3\operatorname{cm}\times15\operatorname{cm} \\ V_{rectagular\text{ prism}}=135cm^3 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the volume of the prism is 135 cubic centimeters
