Question

in the formula for the volume of a cylinder, π represents:
a. 1.618
b. 2.71
c. 3.14
d. 3.41
a rectangular prism has a length of 6 inches, width of 4 inches, and height of 3 inches. what is its volume?
a. 72 in³
b. 48 in³
c. 60 in³
d. 54 in³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the volume formula for a rectangular prism

The volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is given by \( V=\text{length}\times\text{width}\times\text{height}\), or \( V = l\times w\times h\).

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Here, \( l = 6\) inches, \( w = 4\) inches, and \( h = 3\) inches. So, \( V=6\times4\times3\).

Step3: Perform the multiplication

First, \( 6\times4 = 24\), then \( 24\times3=72\).

Answer:

A. \(72\ \text{in}^3\)
