Question

1. a rectangular prism has a length of 6 inches, width of 4 inches, and height of 3 inches. what is its volume?

a. 60 in³
b. 72 in³
c. 54 in³
d. 48 in³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

The volume $V$ of a rectangular prism is given by $V = l\times w\times h$, where $l$ is length, $w$ is width and $h$ is height.

Step2: Substitute values

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

Step3: Calculate the result

$6\times4\times3=(6\times4)\times3 = 24\times3=72$ $in^{3}$.

Answer:

B. $72$ $in^{3}$
