Question

what is the volume of the following rectangular prism? volume = units³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

$V = B\times h$ (where $B$ is base - area and $h$ is height)

Step2: Identify base - area and height

$B = 16\frac{1}{4}=\frac{65}{4}$ units², $h=\frac{1}{2}$ units

Step3: Calculate volume

$V=\frac{65}{4}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{65}{8}=8\frac{1}{8}$ units³

Answer:

$8\frac{1}{8}$
