Example Question #1291 : Grade 6

What is the volume of the rectangular prism in the following figure?

1

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 72\textup{ cm}^3\)

\(\displaystyle 89.25\textup{ cm}^3\)

\(\displaystyle 70.5\textup{ cm}^3\)

\(\displaystyle 84.75\textup{ cm}^3\)

\(\displaystyle 88\textup{ cm}^3\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 89.25\textup{ cm}^3\)

Explanation:

The formula used to find volume of a rectangular prism is as follows:

\(\displaystyle A=l\times w\times h\)

Substitute our side lengths:

\(\displaystyle A=4\frac{1}{4}\times3\times7\)

\(\displaystyle A=89.25\textup{ cm}^3\)

Remember, volume is always written with cubic units because volume is how many cubic units can fit inside of a figure.
