What is a rectangular prism?

'In geometry, a rectangular prism is a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel bases. It is also called a cuboid.'

According to the given problem,

Volume of the cuboid = Length × Width × Height

                                    = 30 × 20 × 15

                                    =  9000 cubic centimeters

Now for the volume of the added water,

Length = 30 cm

Width = 20 cm

Height = 2.5 cm

V = 30 × 20 × 2.5

   = 1500 cubic centimeters.

Hence, we can conclude, the volume of the added water is 1500 cubic centimeters.
