Answer:
7/8 or 0.875 units^3
Explanation:
The volume for a rectangular prism is l*w*h. What you must remember is that l*w can be rewritten as the base of the prism. Thusly, the volume formula can be reduced to B*h, where B is the area of the base. You are given the area of the base as 1/2, so just multiply 1/2 by 1&3/4 (I rewrote it as 7/4) to get 7/8.
