Question

The volume of a box with a square base can be written as V = s² x h where V is the volume, s is one side of the square base, and h is the height. Find the volume of a rectangular prism where s = 6 cm and h = 9 cm.

A.108 cm³
B.54 cm³
C.486 cm³
D.324 cm³

Answer 1

Since only one side of the prism is given in the question, it is assumed that the prism has a square base. Since its height is different from its sides, it can also be called rectangular. The formula to find the volume of the prism is V = s² x h, where s = 6 cm and h = 9 cm So V = 6 x 6 x 9 cm V = 324 cm³
