Find the volume of the rectangular prism. Round to the tenths place.
SOLUTION
Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.
STEP 1: Write the given sides
[tex]length=3m,width=2\frac{1}{4}m,height=4\frac{1}{2}m[/tex]STEP 2: Write the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism
[tex]Volume=length\times width\times height[/tex]STEP 3: Calculate the volume of the prism
[tex]\begin{gathered} By\text{ substitution,} \\ Volume=3\times2\frac{1}{4}\times4\frac{1}{2} \\ Volume=3\times2.25\times4.5 \\ Volume=30.375m^3 \\ Volume\approx30.4m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the volume of the rectangular prism is 30.4m³
