Question

in the rectangular prism, each small cube has edges that are \\( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \\) inch long. what is the height of the rectangular prism? 1 inch \\( 1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \\) inches 3 inches \\( 3 \frac { 1 } { 2 } \\) inches

Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of small cubes along the height

By observing the image, we can see that there are 6 small cubes along the height of the rectangular prism.

Step2: Calculate the height of the rectangular prism

Since each small cube has an edge length of \(\frac{1}{2}\) inch, we use the formula \(height = number\ of\ cubes\times edge\ length\ of\ each\ cube\). So, \(height=6\times\frac{1}{2}\).
