Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 10 meters, a width of 5 meters, and a height of 2 meters.

Which equations could be used to determine the volume, V, of the prism?

Answer 1

The volume equation of a rectangular prism is:

• V = Bh or
• V = lwh,

Where V - volume, l, w, h are dimensions, B - area of base (same as lw)

By substituting values we get:

• V = 10*5*2 = 100 m³
