Question

mrs. culver planted colorful petunias in a window - box planter outside her classroom window. the planter is shaped like a rectangular prism that is 40 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 9.5 inches deep. which equation can you use to find the volume of the planter, v? v = 40·6 + 9.5 v = 40·6·9.5 what is the volume of the planter? cubic inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall volume formula

The volume formula for a rectangular prism is $V = l\times w\times h$, where $l$ is length, $w$ is width and $h$ is height (or depth here). Given $l = 40$ inches, $w = 6$ inches and $h=9.5$ inches, the correct equation is $V = 40\times6\times9.5$.

Step2: Calculate volume

$V=40\times6\times9.5 = 240\times9.5=2280$ cubic - inches.

Answer:

The equation is $V = 40\times6\times9.5$.
The volume is 2280 cubic inches.
