Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its dimensions. If the dimensions of a rectangular prism are

approximately 1.08 feet, 5.25 feet, and 3.3 feet, what is the approximate volume of the cube? Express your answer
using an appropriate level of accuracy.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Volume of a rectangular prism: length (width) (height).

Volume: 1.08 (5.25) (3.3), or 18.71100.

However, because 3.3 is only two significant figures, we round our answer to: 19.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

18.7 ft^3

Explanation:

The volume is the product of the dimensions of the cube:

V = L*W*H, where L and W represent the length and width respectively.

Here,

V = (1.08 ft)(5.25 ft)(3.3 ft) = 18.7 ft^3, which is to 1 decimal place, because the least accurate dimension is also to 1 decimal place.
